You want them running through the normal eclipse java launching process so you can do hot-code replacement, etc, when it runs in debug mode. Plus we get a lot of behaviors for free by piggy-backing on the Java launching process.

<mini-rant>If it doesn't work like in deployment like it does in Eclipse it's either a failure of the build system which (should be replaced|is being replaced) or it's a failure of WOBoostrap which (should be replaced|is being replaced). There's no reason why all the features that Eclipse provides in terms of dependencies and classpath ordering should not be fully supported during build and deployment. Anjo and I have talked about this several times that the framework Info.plist needs to support the definition of framework dependencies and/or its internal jar ordering, which should be interpreted by a replacement WOBootstrap to dynamically build what is currently the MacOSClassPath.txt file, which I personally despise. In general, the WO build process and deployment process is way too complicated and nasty, and it would be nice to have the tools make this suck less.</ mini-rant>

To digress a bit,

I was wondering why WOLips wo app launch configs do not launch in the cmd line style. They seem to simulate the launching of a standard Java app, which can make the behavior between launching from Eclipse and deploying inconsistent. From what I understand Art's example is a good illustration of this, since I assume WOCommon gets resolved, when running from Eclipse, according to Eclipse's classpath.
