Hi,
is it possible to start an Eclipse workbench instance from
an Equinox-OSGi launch configuration?
If yes, how would I do it?

Regards Thomas

By coincidence I was just trying to do this and found a few bugs with
PDE->UI. Once I figure out what is going on I will open a bug and post
the link here.

Here are the steps I use to get this to work:

1) Create a new OSGi Framework launch configuration
2) On the bundles tab set "Default Auto-Start:" to false and "Default
Start level:" is 4
3) Make sure the following bundles have these settings for Start Level
and Auto-Start

org.eclipse.core.runtime default true
org.eclipse.equinox.common 2 true

4) On the Arguments tab remove the following options from the VM
arguments "-Declipse.ignoreApp=true -Dosgi.noShutdown=true"
5) Add -product org.eclipse.sdk.ide to the end of the Program arguments

Assuming you are using the Eclipse SDK as your target this will launch
the sdk product which should start the workbench.

HTH
