Performing a mute eclipse on the command line

Question

Following this instruction , I could run the mute Eclipse plugin in the side Eclipse IDE.

I have some error log information, but I assume I can ignore it based on this message - Unable to find feature.xml in directory

Following the instructions on the site, I could create a jar file. After copying org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.jar I tried to execute the jar file

java -jar org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar -application headlessHello_1.0.0.201210101430.jar 

I tried

 java -cp .:org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application headlessHello_1.0.0.201210101430.jar 

to get an error message

 An error has occurred. See the log file /Users/users/Desktop/configuration/1349897444823.log 

with this log file

ADDED

From this site , the problem was that I did not install %R2_HOME%/plugins correctly. After installation, I still get an error message.

 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service.

Answer 1

A mute Eclipse instance should include many plugins, not just your plugin. The minimum product includes:

• org.eclipse.core.runtime
• org.eclipse.core.variables
• <your plugin is here>

EDIT

I generated the product, and here is a list of plugins that is used by my "minimal" mute Eclipse:

I am listing the product, and here is the list of downloaded plugins:

 org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.4.100.v20100505-1235.jar org.eclipse.core.jobs_3.5.1.R36x_v20100824.jar org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.auth_3.2.200.v20100517.jar org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.registry_3.3.0.v20100520 org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.6.0.v20100505.jar org.eclipse.equinox.app_1.3.1.R36x_v20100803.jar org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.6.0.v20100503.jar org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.2.R36x_v20101222 org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar org.eclipse.equinox.preferences_3.3.0.v20100503.jar org.eclipse.equinox.registry_3.5.0.v20100503.jar org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.2.100.v20100503.jar org.eclipse.osgi.util_3.2.100.v20100503.jar org.eclipse.osgi_3.6.2.R36x_v20110210.jar 

So, can I recommend you create a product for this Eclipse application that you create and try it. Search FAQ I found this. http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_What_is_the_minimal_Eclipse_configuration%3F
