Hi,
we have several applications (some of them headless) that run
from within the same eclipse installation. One problem is,
that all plugins are visible from the applications. This
cause problems, if extensions are used that load plugins
that cannot run in the context of the headless application.
To illustrate the problem I use a simple example. A headless
application that uses the org.eclipse.core.variables plugin to
expand a variable. The org.eclipse.core.variables is UI free
and therefore no problem. But some plugins that contribute to
the variables plugin are not headless. To illustrate this, I
use the ${selected_text} variable that is defined in the
org.eclipse.debug.ui plugin. This causes the application
to fail.
public class MyApplicationWithVariables implements IPlatformRunnable {
public Object run(Object arg) throws Exception {
IStringVariableManager vm=VariablesPlugin.getDefault().getStringVariableManager();
String message=vm.performStringSubstitution("Hello ${selected_text}!");
System.out.println(message);
return EXIT_OK;
}
}
<extension
id="HelloWorldWithVariables"
name="Minimal Headless with variables"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications">
<application>
<run class="gr.scharf.minimal.headless.MyApplicationWithVariables "/>
</application>
</extension>
Is there a way to restrict the plugins visible or loadable
to an application?
Or is the only way to have a copy of the installation
containing only the "good" plugins?
