Eclipse platform runtime [message #165847] Thu, 04 December 2003 18:30 Go to next message

Hi,

I would like to create some plug-ins and package them along with eclipse
runtime, so that a user would not be burdened with having to download
the entire workbench.

I have not been able to find anything in the FAQ or docs as to how to do
this, or how to run eclipse as runtime alone, with one or more plugins
specified, along with the required jars, etc. Can someone point me to
how this can be done?

Thanks,
Vishant

I think looking in the book "The Java Developers Guide to Eclipse" by
Shavor et. al. in Chapter 22 in the section on "Feature Branding" might
be useful for you. For specifying default plugins with which Eclipse can
start up with, you have to modify the 'install.ini' file in the main
eclipse folder (an example of this is given in the book). Also it talks
about how to package your plugins as a 'feature' which can then be
specified as the default one at startup.

I have not done branding/features myself but hope that helps,

On the main download page there's an option to download a package with just
the minimal runtime. You can unpack that, add the mix of extra plug-ins you
want, in the plugins directory, and then pack it back up again for your
users.

For another alternative (V3.x only) see

There has been some explanation given in this newsgroup a while ago.
Basically you can start the exe or start from the class
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
For the plugins themselves remove what you do not need. There are no special
steps or guidelines to do that.
