Can't open file from Linux shell on active session [message #1810528]

Hi,

I been trying and failing for long time to open a file from linux shell but NOT AS NEW Eclipse session. I have Eclipse instance running and I want it to be opened there.

I tried:
eclipse <file_path>
and:
eclipse --launcher.openFile <file_path>

in any case it tries to open new session and then says that the workspace is currently in use by another Eclipse application.

My version is: Eclipse version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3)

Anyone knows how to make it work??.....

Regards,
German

It works just fine for me using Eclipse 4.12
With 4.6.3 your missing out *many* bugfixes made since then ...

I have some mandatory plugins that are not supported in Eclipse 4.7 and higher.

You may still want to try if it works using a recent version of Eclipse, to figure out if its fixed indeed or if something else causes the problem on your system.
