Running SWTBot in EASE Script in Headless Mode [message #1828373]

I wrote a script using EASE and SWTBot. The scripts works seamlessly when executed in a headful mode. However, when I run the script in a headless mode, it gets stuck.

Is there a way to make the script run in a headless mode? Fully starting my IDE would solve the issue described above, but I doubt it's possible with EASE.

When you use the runScript application, you will get a workspace with access to resources like projects and files, but no UI components will be loaded.

As you mention SWTBot I asume that you want to run some tests, but SWTBot needs UI and headless means that you do not want a UI, so these things do not match.

If you just want to run a script at startup in your IDE, you may use registered scripts along with keywords. I did some examples for ECE 2017, see https://www.eclipse.org/ease/documentation/
