Hi,

I am very new to Eclipse IDE.

1. I have a stand alone Visual Basic Application.

2. In Eclipse IDE, I want to add a menu or UI (user interface) having a
button and on click of this button should launch my Visual Basic
Application.

3. Is this scenario possible in Eclipse IDE?. If so can anyone please let
me know how can it be achieved? (Samples/Examples)

4. Also can you please let me know if this is the right forum to post this
question?

Thanks in advance for all the responses

Surr,

Eclipse is not going to be very helpful to you in your VB project. The
base Eclipse ID has no knowledge of or support for VB, although you may
find some intrepid adventurer has written a plugin or two, a cursory
google I just did failed to show anything in the first 50 or so results.

If you want to stay with Eclipse, you might want to consider switching
to Java....

Of course, you could always write your own. A full VB IDE for Eclipse
would be quite a big job (1 man year or something like that). But if you
just want to be able to launch VB from within Eclipse, you only need to
create a launch configuration for it.

Open the Eclipse Help system by clicking Help > Help Contents on the
menu bar. Look under Platform Plug-in Developer Guide > Reference >
Extension Points Reference for
org.eclipse.debug.core.launchConfigurationTypes.

Or you could just use a normal action, using the
org.eclipse.ui.actionSets extension point, but that won't let you
configure the launch so easily, best to plugin to Eclipses launch framework.
