=Admin UI RCP App=

[[Image:P2-admin-ui-RCP.png|right|thumb]] If you're looking to start up the [[Equinox_p2_Admin_UI_Users_Guide|Equinox p2 Admin UI]] from the commandline using Java instead of eclipse.exe, here's one way:

 #!/bin/bash
 vm=/opt/sun-java2-5.0/bin/java
 eclipsehome=~/eclipse/p2
 workspace=$eclipsehome/workspace
 
 pushd $eclipsehome >/dev/null
 if <nowiki>[[ $# -eq 0 ]]</nowiki>; then
        rm -fr $eclipsehome/eclipse $workspace
        mkdir -p $eclipsehome/eclipse
        p2=equinox-p2-agent-3.4-linux.tar.gz
        echo "Unpack $p2..."
        tar xzf $p2 -C eclipse
 fi
 cp=$(find $eclipsehome -name "org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar" | sort | tail -1);
 $vm -cp $cp org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main -data $workspace \
   -consolelog -clean -debug -console -noexit \
   -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx256M -XX:PermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M
 
 popd >/dev/null

=Admin UI Eclipse Perspective=

[[Image:P2-admin-ui-in-Ganymede.png|right|thumb]] To run the [[Equinox_p2_Admin_UI_Users_Guide|Equinox p2 Admin UI]] from within a full Eclipse install, you need to install some extra plugins into Eclipse, or install Eclipse into the p2 agent. The latter is [[Equinox_p2_Admin_UI_Users_Guide#Overview_of_the_Eclipse_Provisioning_RCP_Agent|documented here]]. The former can be done like this:

 #!/bin/bash
 vm=/opt/sun-java2-5.0/bin/java
 eclipsehome=~/eclipse/p2_eclipse;
 workspace=$eclipsehome/workspace
 
 pushd $eclipsehome >/dev/null
 if <nowiki>[[ $# -eq 0 ]]</nowiki>; then
        rm -fr $eclipsehome/eclipse $workspace;
        mkdir -p $eclipsehome/eclipse;
        eclipse=eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk.tar.gz
        echo "Unpack $eclipse...";
        tar xzf $eclipse
        p2=equinox-p2-agent-3.4-linux.tar.gz
        echo "Unpack $p2 into dropins"
        mkdir -p $eclipsehome/eclipse/dropins/p2
        tar xzf $p2 -C $eclipsehome/eclipse/dropins/p2
        rm -fr $eclipsehome/eclipse/dropins/p2/{dropins,libcairo-swt.so,p2,artifacts.xml,configuration,eclipse,eclipse.ini}
 fi
 cp=$(find $eclipsehome -name "org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar" | sort | tail -1);
 $vm -cp $cp org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main -data $workspace \
  -consolelog -clean -debug -console -noexit \
  -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx256M -XX:PermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M
 
 popd >/dev/null

Once started, open the Provisioning perspective.

If you want to do the same with an Ant or Cmd/Bat script, see [[Starting Eclipse Commandline With Equinox Launcher]] for how to write an equivalent script.
