Re: [platform-core-dev] Running Eclipse RCP Application from Java Web St

[Pascal Rapicault <Pascal_Rapicault@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Nick, 

There is no "out of the box"
way to start eclipse with Webstart.
After putting some more thoughts on
that (talking with Nick Edgar), it seems that there is a way to do it,
but it requires a little bit of work (not much either).
Note that this is a one time cost only,
since everyone will be able to reuse the same thing.

Basically here is the idea:
- because webstart put all the jars
listed in the jnlp file directly on your classpath, list all the plugins
(plugins will be jar'ed up) you need as resources (there is a jnlp tag)
so they won't clutter the classpath.
- write a bundle that will be responsible
to find all the plugins (the one we tagged as resources), download them,
then install them into the framework.

HTH, 

PaScaL

Subject	[platform-core-dev] Running Eclipse RCP Application from Java Web Start (JNLP)

Hi,

I am looking for information / help on getting an Eclipse RCP app
(http://timtam.codehaus.org/) to run (ultimately) from Java Web Start.

I have made a few tentative (but unsuccessful) attempts so far but
have been unsuccessful.

Any help (Pascal?) & pointers to information would be greatly appreciated...

Cheers,
-Nick
