Hi Richard,
Can you describe more what you mean by "launch a runtime workbench"? What is
the artifact you're trying to avoid spawning?
Or is it that you're trying to make a launch configuration that adheres to
Eclipse launch configuration standard?

If it comes from the config.ini file (in eclipse/configuration), then it
would be to
somehow get an:
eclipse.product=<something>
Where the <something> is a thing that launches headless Eclipse and
the standalone help system call:
org.eclipse.help.base_[version].jar
org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help -command displayHelp
So it depends on what are the rules for what can be eclipse.product? The
Product Configuration Editor might help in creating a configuration that is
headless Eclipse and the startup command for the standalone help system.

I haven't seen a .product file for running the standalone help system, but
that doesn't mean it couldn't be built. :-)
