Headless eclipse ava.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main [message #330190]

Hi,
I know in the old framework, you would use something like
java -cp <eclipse_dir>\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-application ....

but i think this has changed since equinox framework and there is no
longer startup.jar. So whats the correct way then..

Is it:
java" -cp <eclipse_dir>\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_<version >.jar
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main -application ...

but the problem with this is that if I do it in the script, the user would
have to edit the script to point to the right version of launcher plugin
while before when we used the startup.jar, no such thing was required..so
is there a better way??

see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Starting_Eclipse_Commandline_With_Eq uinox_Launcher

this is a way in Ant to run eclipse and handle starting a 3.3 or grater and a 3.2 or less

<fileset dir="${eclipse-home}/plugins" id="equinox.jar.fs"
includes="org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar"/>
<pathconvert property="equinox.jar" refid="equinox.jar.fs" setonempty="false"/>
<available file="${eclipse-home}/startup.jar" type="file"
property="eclipse.startup"
value="${eclipse-home}/startup.jar"/>
<property name="eclipse.startup" value="${equinox.jar}" />
<echo message="Running eclipse using eclipse startup ${eclipse.startup}" />
