+# envfile-plugin
+An eclipse plug-in that extends the launch configuration for local Java applications (the default launch configuration type for Java in Eclipse) 
+with the possibility to populate environment variables from files. 
+
+The plug-in adds a tab to the launch configuration which allows the user to select one or more text files containing key=value pairs, one per line.
+When the launch configuration is executed to start the Java program, the plug-in reads the text files and sets each key=value pair as an environment variable
+for the new process.
+
+This is especially useful when using an application uses environment variables for differentiating its configuration for different execution environments.
