Hi,

I've developed an RCP product that actually is in beta test phase; now I have to limit the running copies of the product to only one per time:


  • how can I do this?
  • where I have to put the related code in my RCP product?


Thank you very much, any help is appreciated

Regards,

Giovanni

There isn't a Java/Eclipse API to do this. You need to do workarounds
like holding a lock on a file or binding to a port etc.

Presumably you are not using the lock API correctly. You should ensure
that you do it similarly to how class
org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.application.IDEApplication does this within
its method checkInstanceLocation.
