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.
