How to build native Eclipse launcher?


I want to modify Eclipse launcher so it will behave like a watchdog (restarting process, if it dies unexpectedly). Where can I find more information about how to patch Eclipse launcher, and build it for different platforms?

Thanks!


Solution

  • You could find Eclipse launcher sources at http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.equinox/framework/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.executable/library/?root=RT_Project Building scripts for different platforms are there too. eclipse.c is the entry point so it makes sense to put your platform-independent code there.
