Kill External Program Launched by Eclipse [message #939923]

Using the Eclipse articles
1) "http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-Launch-Framework/launch.html" and
2) "http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-Java-launch/launching-java.html" am able to launch an external program easily.

But my question is, are there any means of terminating or killing the launched external program using eclipse ...??

Thanks in advance

It should be visible from the Debug view. You can use the toolbar buttons or context menu to Terminate a selected process.

Hi Nitin,
Thanks for the reply.

Let me say what i am trying to do in detail.

Basically I am developing an RCP. In that RCP I am trying to start an external program on a click of a button, say Button "Launch My External Program".

And there is another button say "Terminate My External Program". On the click of this button the external program that had been launched using the "Launch My External Program" button needs to be terminated.

And in the RCP the "Debug" View provided by the Eclipse is not included.
Thus the launch and termination needs to be done via the customized buttons/commands.

If you have a solution, please let me know

Regards,
Deepak

Found a workaround to terminate the externally launched program.

The below code launches the external program.

ILaunchConfiguration configuration = launchConfigurationWorkingCopy.doSave();

configuration.launch(ILaunchManager.RUN_MODE, new NullProgressMonitor());

Once this is done,
configuration.launch() API returns ILaunch.
ILaunch has an API as shown below.

launch.terminate()

By executing the above line, the corresponding externally started program can be terminated.

Deepak P
