I want to specify vm args of -Djava.library.path=./src/main/resources so that a dll is picked up automatically, and I want to specify this in maven, so other developers don't have to manually configure eclipse.

I was thinking perhaps the the maven eclipse plugin might help, so I could do something like

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.7</version>
  <configuration>
    DO MAGIC HERE ???? <<-----
  </configuration>
</plugin>

But I can't see a way to add VM args from within the plugin.

I have fixed this for running my tests via maven at the command line by

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.4.3</version>
  <configuration>
    <argLine>-Xmx768m -Xms128m -Djava.library.path=${basedir}/src/main/resources/</argLine>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

My current solution, is that I will have to tell the developers to add this manually to eclipse which doesnt seem very good.

Has anybody got any ideas as to how to solve this.

cheers,

David.
