Eclipse newbie question: hacking Eclipse code to integrate Eclipse generated GUI with Java app [message #164334]

Hi all,
I need to use some Eclipse generated GUI code with a Java application.
To do this we decided to have the Java application and Eclipse run in
the same JVM, make our plugin the default feature with which Eclipse
starts up and use threads to comunicate (since directly interfacing the
EMF generated editor code with the Java app was highly non-trivial).

Now what I need to do is to access the Eclipse code which invokes the
model creation wizards. I need to change that code in order to invoke
the model creation code in a particular way and pass back results to the
Java application.

Can anyone point me where to look for this in the Eclipse code? The
books on Eclipse do not give any information about this and the only
source of information I can think of is the newsgroup.

thanks for considering,
-rajeshk

I could not use the debugger to locate the code I need because I have
been unable to run the Eclipse which I built from the downloaded sources
inside Eclipse - I can only run it by clicking on the generated
eclipse exe file in the windows explorer.

You don't need the downloaded sources for this because source is included in
the Eclipse SDK package. All you need to do is use a binary import.
Debugging and searching for types becomes very easy this way. See
http://www.manning.com/gallardo/Eclipse_ch8.zip (free download) for details.

when I run a plugin in the debugger I keep getting the "Not Responding"
message and I have to kill the runtime workbench process

This started happening after I put in "-Xmx256M" in the vm args to get
rid of the "Out of Memory" errors which I was getting. Any fixes to this ?

I'd check for a typo in those vm args. Run-time workbench adds a few more vm
args to establish the debugger connection so your vm args must be
interfering with the ones Eclipse adds somehow.
