Overview¶
When a Java application starts an Eclipse-based sub-process automatic hook up of the sub-process typically does not work (due to the design of Eclipse).
However, with some additional setup steps automatic hook up of Eclipse-based sub-processes can still be achieved.
Enabling Automatic Hook Up of Eclipse-based Sub-Processes¶
Step 1 - Rename eclipse.exe
to eclipse_.exe
.
Step 2 - Create a copy of eclipse.ini
and rename it to eclipse_.ini
.
Step 3 - Download and extract starter-latest.zip .
Step 4 - From the extracted starter-latest.zip
copy starter.exe
into the folder of eclipse_.exe
and rename starter.exe
to eclipse.exe
.
Step 5 - Copy starter.exe.bat_rcp_subprocess_same_jre
into the folder of eclipse_.exe
and rename starter.exe.bat_rcp_subprocess_same_jre
to eclipse.exe.bat
.
(The above instructions assume that the binary that launches the sub-process is called eclipse.exe
. Please adjust the instructions according to the actual file name. Likewise for eclipse.ini
.)
