10x Ross,
I'll take a look at them both. If the Eclipse plugin really does "embed" forrest than that is exactly what I need! Will post again should problems arise.
The Eclipse plugin embeds Forrest in an Eclipse plugin (suprise!). What youend up with is Forrest embedded in Eclipse.
If you don't know how eclipse works it may seem a little confusing as there are lots of hooks in the Eclipse platform being used. Might be easier to start from the forrest.sh|bat script in that case.
However, if you do know how Eclipse works you may find it useful to look at http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/forrest/trunk/tools/eclipse/src/org/apache/forrest/eclipse/job/ForrestRunner.java?rev=153349&view=markup
This is the clasee that does the work of setting up the classpath needed and so on.
After I'm finished, I'll try (if time permits...) to summarize my experience into a document about how to embed Forrest in other software, so that you will be able to put it on your site, for others that will need to do the same (I imagine it might be useful to someone...).
That would be very much appreciated, I am sure you will not be the only user needing to do this (in fact I know you aren't)
Ross
