Re: [eclipse-dev] IPlatformRunnable Depprecated, what is the recommended

["Thomas Watson" <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Which example are you using?  The
first one using e4 stuff so it would start the eclipse workbench.  Your
RunHeadlessMode application should look almost identical to when it implemented
IPlatformRunnable.  The only difference is that you implement a start
method instead of a run method and you get the Object args by calling:

IApplicationContext.getArguments().get(.IApplicationContext.APPLICATION_ARGS)

IPlatformRunnable Depprecated, what is the recommended approach for Headless
Jar execution?

Hello all,

I have implemented plugin that needs to be run in headless
mode in the remote machine. I have implemented this using the extension
point [1] with implementation of IPlatformRunnable class.

But that method appears deprecated according to [2]. I
tried using IApplicationServer start method following the code samples
at [3], but it seems that it cannot be run in headless mode as when I executed
the jar in my local machine it started an eclipse instance.

Could you please let me know the recommended approach
for $subject.

point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications"> 
      <application> 
         <run class="org.wso2.developerstudio.eclipse.test.p2.hierarchy.RunHeadlessMode"> 
            <parameter
name="optimize" value="true"/> 
         </run> 
      </application> 
   </extension>
