Single instance of an RCP application [message #324884]

Hi,

Which is the best way to implement a single instance mechanism for a RCP
application (i.e. the launcher must only allow one instance)?

Thanks for your feedbacks,
Xavier

Hi Xavier,

The standard way to do this in Java is to use a non-shareable resource
such as a server-port. See
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=419946&me ssageID=1863014
for an example (scroll down to Joerg22's response).

Cheers,
Dimitrios

Hi,

I'd use a locked file instead because opening ports may trigger
Antivirus software alerts and why open a way highjack your computer.
