How to run multiple mains (in separate JVM's) in eclipse [message #898645]

Hi,

I am sorry if this question has been asked before but I can't find any related posts. I have two objects (Java) that have mains. I want to run them in parallel. Is there a way to do that in eclipse rather than pushing that Run button twice? I saw some Launch Configuration options in some posts but my eclipse doesnt have that option in the Run configuration? I have the latest eclipse (at least I believe I do). I have version:

Version: 3.7.0
Build id: I20110613-1736

Just wanted to know how can I do that? Run multiple Jvm's from inside eclipse?

Naeem,

I think each launcher only launches a single process so I think you need
to run each of them separately, unless you write some utility process
that launches other processes.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at this thing: Group Launch. I think this is what I need as it can launch multiple processes with single (click play) button.

http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Freference%2Fcdt_u_run_dbg_launch_group.htm

But I can't find anything in my eclipse in Run Configurations menu. So what version is this? And why don't I have something similar in my eclipse?

And is there a way to request this functionality in Eclipse? I mean I am pretty sure I am not the first one asking this. Guys developing client/server apps _should_ run itno this consistently.
Thanks.

I figured it out. I was missing CDT plugin. Once I added that plugin, I was able to use "Group Launch" functionality to launch multiple processes with single click.
