RCP as Windows Service [message #329989]

I am attempting to figure out how to start my RCP application as a
Windows Service.. there doesnt seem to be much in the way of content on
the web describing how this may be achieved.. but surely it must be
possible..

I've been attempting to use Java Service Wrapper.. unsuccessfully as of
yet..

Does anyone have any tips/recommendations/resources ??

Google "java windows service"

I don't think there is any direct support for this in Eclipse.

You will need to start your Java class as a windows service using the
above means, and then you can use the EclipseStarter class to bring up
your app programatically.

HTH,

Francis
