Hi,
I have a plugin that contains a little program that can be launched on a
menu selection. Basically, when the user click on the menu, I want to
launch a new VM running a main class packaged in my plugin, and display
the output on the Eclipse console. The required classpath for the new VM
is the plugin jar. How can I do it? I have seen the example "Running a
Java program" in the documentation, but it describes how to launch a main
class from a project within the workspace, which is not my case. There is
also the "We Have Lift-off: The Launching Framework in Eclipse" article,
but it implies run config which I do not need (do I have to this way?). I
would appreciate any pointers to the right direction.
Thanks!
Alain
