Probably because I'm not aware of what your talking about. Nonetheless, while there may be another way of doing what I need, the ability to simple specify a command line to a java process that is something that has tremendous capability. Can users overdo it sure, but in an effort to protect clueless users from themselves, should we prevent more advances users/plugin developers from achieving their needs. I'm a big eclipse and firefox user, but I don't dictate that everyone on my team has to do as I do because I believe it is the "one true way" for IDEs and web browsing.
