Hi,
Does anybody have any suggestions on how I might pass an 'exit code' to
a script that invokes eclipse?
I have written an Eclipse plugin that allows certain operations to be
performed in a 'batch' mode and then exit. This is working. I am trying
to find a way to pass the success/fail status to a shell script that
started Eclipse.
I have tried
System.setProperty("eclipse.exitcode", 999);
workbench.close() ;
but the exit code from the Eclipse executable is always zero. It seems
that Workbench#close() always sets the 'return code' to zero.
I am writing status information to a file, so I could add something to
that, but the script would then need to read the file (which I am trying
to avoid).
I had thought about using environment variables, but there is no way to
set one using Java.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

You will probably need to create your own Application. The workbench is
using IDEApplication. You could probably extend this and have your
start return an Integer(999)
