I want to make a Headless Console plugin and a UI plugin for Eclipse. Requirments are like this;

  • Headless plugin will be accessed from cmd
  • Headless plugin will accept couple of parameters
  • UI plugin will show windows to user to input these parameters
  • UI plugin will trigger headless plugin with the parameters provided by user.

Headless plugin processes some resources when triggered. So calling only a method of headless plugin does not work for me. I have to have the bundle instance in the plugin to access the resources.

I need an approach on how to achieve starting a headless plugin from UI plugin. Headless plugin cont

Thanks in advance

  • I don't understand what the problem with calling a method is. The plugin will be automatically started when you do this. – greg-449 Sep 15 '15 at 16:25
  • I was not able to work with that but maybe it is my mistake I will try again – Harun Bulutlar Sep 16 '15 at 06:54
  • Sounds like what you call "Headless plugin" is simply an external application. Must it be a plugin? – Arye Shemesh Sep 17 '15 at 13:52
  • Actually tried it again it worked. I guess i did something else wrong. Just calling any class from plugin automatically creates the bundle as well. Yeah it has to be a plugin because it creates a custom eclipse project and builds it. Ui part responsible for giving the options to user. So user will be able to create a project from console and from create project routine of eclipse. Thanks greg-449 – Harun Bulutlar Sep 23 '15 at 00:55
