I have a Process value returned from
Runtime.getRuntime().exec()
that I must treat as an IProcess value.
Is there a way to do that (other than casting it, which will fail)?

Without any more context on what you are trying to do, I would propose that
you should take a look at the convenience methods on DebugPlugin.
Have a look at:
exec(String[], File)
exec(String[], File, String[])
newProcess(ILaunch, Process, String)
newProcess(ILaunch, Process, String, Map)

These return a Process rather than an IProcess, right?

These do return an IProcess but require the launch value, which I
don't have. (Do I need to have it otherwise?)
My event listener is modelled after BackgroundResourceRefresher
in package
org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.internal.program.launchConfigur ations,
but without all the launch stuff, and it includes this code:
public void startBackgroundRefresh() {
synchronized (watchedProcess) {
if (watchedProcess.isTerminated()) {
refresh();
} else {
DebugPlugin.getDefault().addDebugEventListener(this);
}
}
}
But a Process does not provide the isTerminated function.
The process creation code in the action class (that executes the
external command) is the following:
try {
P = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command.toString());
} catch (IOException e) {
...
} // try
IProcess process = DebugPlugin.newProcess(P, null);
ProjectRefresher refresher = new ProjectRefresher(process);
refresher.startBackgroundRefresh();
}
but unfortunately that specific newProcess function is no longer
provided by DebugPlugin.

The process support provided by the debugger requires a launch object. An
IProcess is an abstraction of a system process, and the debug plugin simply
provides an implementation of an IProcess that is a proxy to a
java.lang.Process.

Right, but I don't know how to use that knowledge. Let me restate my
situation.
I'm writing a listener to call localRefresh() in response to an
external tool completing. Currently, I need an IProcess view of a
process (only) because I use function isTerminated in my listener:
>> public void startBackgroundRefresh() {
>> synchronized (watchedProcess) {
>> if (watchedProcess.isTerminated()) {
>> refresh();
>> } else {
>> DebugPlugin.getDefault().addDebugEventListener(this);
>> }
>> }
>> }
But instead of an IProcess I have a Process (named P) because I am
doing the following:
>> try {
>> P = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(Command.toString());
>> } catch (IOException e) {
>> ...
>> } // try
I tried to get an IProcess wrapper via this call to DebugPlugin:
>> IProcess process = DebugPlugin.newProcess(P, null);
but that function no longer exists with that signature. This won't
compile in Eclipse 2.1.
The remaining newProcess functions require a launch configuration and
clearly I'll need that if I am to call them. But are there other
functions elsewhere that give me an IProcess, such that I can avoid
the launch stuff altogether? I know nothing about using launches and
this seems to be the only reason I need them so I'd like to avoid them
if possible.
Thanks!

You cannot avoid the launch stuff.
If all you want to know, is when a java.lang.Process is terminated, you need
to write your own code to do it (why use an IProcess just for that?). For
example, you can start a thread that joins on the process and sends a
notification when it is complete, as is done by the "ProcessMonitorJob" in
the debug platform. See Process.waitFor() and Process.exitValue().

OK.
Say I have a launch configuration XML file named "GPS.launch". How do
I access it? I can see how to get the launch manager but don't see
how to go from there. I assume eventually I will call the launch
function but the intermediate steps are unclear to me.
PS: I've read your "Launching Java Applications Programmatically" web
article.
Thanks!
