Hi All,
Firstly please let me know if I've sent this to the wrong mailing list,
happy to redirect as appropriate.
I am a developer on the Newton project (http://newton.codecauldron.org)
and I'm trying to do some work to bring newton and eclipse closer
together but I'm running up against a barrier in my understanding about
how eclipse starts it's platform ui functionality.
I'm initially just trying to figure out the base set of bundles and
properties I need to start to get an eclipse based ui product to show.
Ideally this would be outside of the eclipse launcher (for reasons I can
go into in a follow on email if appropriate?)
The crux of the problem I have is that even though I /think/ I've
started all the bundles eclipse configures for a vanilla external
product, no ui appears. The cpu maxes for about a second or two whilst
the bundles load, but then all goes quiet and no ui is visible.
I have added log lines to the Activator start(BundleContext ctx) method
for my dummy ui plugin and I can see that this is definitely getting called.
I'm guessing there may a system property or command line argument I need
to set to get the ui to show but I've not had very much luck tracing
through the source code to figure out what it is. Hoping some kind soul
can point me in the right direction.
I've included what I hope is relevant technical information below...
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Dave.
