Comment 3 javydreamercsw 2017-01-16 17:45:03 UTC 
If the following is added to the application's configuration file it opens correclty:

default_userdir="${HOME}/.${APPNAME}/dev"
default_options="--branding qualitytrends -J-Xms24m -J-Xmx64m"

The question is then, why this was not properly generated. It originally had the following:

default_options="-J-Xms24m -J-Xmx64m"
Comment 4 javydreamercsw 2017-01-17 23:03:58 UTC 
The issue was a custom configuration file that had missing information. When replaced with a complete one, everything works.

Changed issue to improvement as I believe the IDE should be able to check it has a valid configuration to work with.
