I'm afraid this might be a common question, which already have been answered on the forum. However, after spending quite much time trying to find the answer, please help.

I have created 2 RCP plugins, both singletons - I want them to run as separate processes.

Question. How do I start plugin #2 from plugin #1, in the java code. Can someone please advice me where to find this information.

Grateful for help.
Cheers
Kabo

Yes. Thanks.
I've created
plugin_1
feature_1, using plugin_1
and product_1, using feature_1, starting a window application defined in plugin_1.

Then I've created
plugin_2
feature_2, using plugin_2
and product_2, using feature_2, starting a window application defined in plugin_2.

Both of those products runs fine as standalone programs.

Now, when I press a button in plugin_1, I want to make some java software call to start plugin_2 as a standalone software (the two plugins will do some inter-process communication testing). Is this possible or is there even an easy way to do this? Smile

I don't think this you can do Because of following :

1. Both Plugin is the part of Diff-2 RCP.
2. Both plugins are running in different JVM.


In My knowledge, For calling function from different plugins, then that plugin should be the part of this RCP. Its simply if This RCP is doesn't know about that plugin than how it will call it.
