Hi,

How to launch a eclipse from the commandline. Also how to set the default workspace in a batch script, so that when running the batch script the eclipse must automatically open without showing the splash screen and take to the workbench area.

Thanks,
Deepthi

To launch from the command line you just run the eclipse executable for
your platform (Linux: eclipse, Windows: eclipse.exe, etc)

I believe that the -data command line argument specifies the workspace
to use so the command would be eclipse -data /path/to/my/workspace
