Open new RCP window from current RCP [message #467592]

Hello,
I new to RCP, but I've the following question without an answer.

Currently we are using RCP (plug-in) project (lets call it RCP1) and we've
added a button to this project. This button calls to another RCP project
(lets call it RCP2) using the Main launcher.
Since it calls to the same startup.jar and descriptive files it open the
current RCP (RCP1) and not the new one (RCP2) as needed.

Do you know how to add button or other action to current RCP project that
will launch other RCP project (without Runtime.exec).

Thanks in advance,
Moshe

Why do you need to do that? Two RCP apps will quite happily run in one Eclipse install. If you want to open up a second window with a different perspective, that's fairly easy too.

I'm not sure if you can have two WorkbenchWindowAdvisors, so if that's how you've got your code set up (as opposed to Perspectives) you'll have to fork a new JVM with Runtime.exec().
