Launch an external program [message #328067] Tue, 13 May 2008 14:18 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm configuring an development environment for one embedded language on
Eclipse and I want invoke an external program that already implements some
feature. I'm able to launch it configuring properly a new configuration
from External Tools but I want that user of environment doesn't spend time
to set this configuration manually. My idea would be creating a new plugin
and add to it both the program (written in C#) and something that enables
the launch configuration such as that produced using External Tools menu
manually.

Which could be the best solution to implement my idea?
How can I add launch configuration details to eclipse platform?

Thanks in advance

Rosario

Hi Rosario,

The easiest way would be to export the launch configuration as a file. In
the 'Common' tab of the External Tools Dialog, you can choose 'Save
As'->'Shared file' and it will save the configuration as a .launch file.
This file can then be shared with your users.

Hth,
Ron
