How to detect if launching from eclipse [message #62244]

In my OSGi application I'm using a password masking trick which sends
backspaces on a separate thread to hide the password when reading from
System.in.

This works fine when launching my application from a console, but not
within Eclipse.

Is there a way to find out if my application is running within Eclipse?

You can try looking for the "eclipse.pde.launcher" system property.

Also the "eclipse.commands" system property should have something like:
-dev
file:C:/Dev/Platform/Workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclips e.pde.core/New_configuration/dev.properties

Thanks Andrew!

I found the "eclipse.launcher" property and check if it ends with
"eclipse.exe".
