How to start RCP application from a running vm [message #634180]

Hi all,

I need to start my rcp application shell from a running vm as I want to communicate with Matlab which uses its own vm.

To be precise I want to start the Matlab-vm first.

Then while bypassing the rcp launcher, I need to do all the required steps to start up the rcp environment and directly open my applications' workbench window by executing java commands only.

Can anybody give me some advice how to do that?

Thx in advance!

Hi Paul,

thx for your quick and useful reply.
I managed to invoke the "run"-method in the org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter class of my existing RCP-application from the running Matlab-VM.

However if I execute the convenience- "run"-method passing all parameters I get no return object, nothing seems to happen and the "isRunning" - method of EclipseStarter returns false afterwards. No error messages ....

If I execute the "startup"-method I get a BundleContext - instance returned and the "isRunning" - method of EclipseStarter returns true afterwards.
If I then invoke the normal "run"-method I get the following error message:

Java exception occurred:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service. Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started (see config.ini).

at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher .start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:74)

at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseS tarter.java:368)

According to the javadoc I am passing the parameters "-application", "myApplication". Are there any more parameters I have to provide? How can the files "myApplication.ini" and ".eclipseproduct" in the rcp-apps' main directory and the "config.ini" in the configuration directory be found anyway?

thx in advance,

chris
