| Launching Java process from a plugin [message #331065] | Fri, 22 August 2008 11:50  |  |

 Hi,
 
 I have a plugin that contains a little program that can be launched on a
 menu selection. Basically, when the user click on the menu, I want to
 launch a new VM running a main class packaged in my plugin, and display
 the output on the Eclipse console. The required classpath for the new VM
 is the plugin jar. How can I do it? I have seen the example "Running a
 Java program" in the documentation, but it describes how to launch a main
 class from a project within the workspace, which is not my case. There is
 also the "We Have Lift-off: The Launching Framework in Eclipse" article,
 but it implies run config which I do not need (do I have to this way?). I
 would appreciate any pointers to the right direction.
 
 Thanks!
 Alain
