Re: [eclipse-dev] Integrating eclipse.core.runtime into an other Framewo

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The runtime does not have an event loop.
 It sets up the environment and then runs the application.  The
application can do anything.  In the default Eclipse case the application
is the UI and there is an event loop. This is completely configurable by
you.  Perhaps you could define and application which runs your framework?

The other option is to run Eclipse from
your Java program.  If you look at the EclipseStarter class (in the
org.eclipse.osgi) you will see that there are startup(), run() and shutdown()
methods.  You can do similar work as to what is done in Main but use
the separate lifecycle methods.  This is more work so I would try
the application approach first and then this approach if the application
does not work for you.

Subject	[eclipse-dev] Integrating eclipse.core.runtime into an other Framework [wd-vc]

Hi, 

I want to use the eclipse runtime as a plugin engine within an other application
framework. 
Unfortunately both frameworks want to have the control (.i.e. main event
loop). 
I wonder if I can use eclipse in library mode: call startup(), getPlugin(),
shutdown() as needed. 

Are there any examples on how to initialize eclipse runtime and use it
to load plugins without providing an application 
plugin and going through the normal boot loader and application.run() procedure
which finally leads into a shutdown(). 

Thanks Thomas
