Eclipse java command line

1/ You can generate the java command used by eclipse to run/ or debug an application, with all included classpaths etc. This can be useful if you want to later script the execution of the application.

It is visible by debugging the application (debug as application). From the debug perspective, right click on the debug view, to get the context menu. Select properties. The command line is visible and can be copied.


2/Also, its possible to run eclipse itself from the command line in headless mode.


eclipsec.exe -noSplash -data "D:\Source\MyProject\workspace" -application org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.aptBuild

It uses the jdt apt plugin to build your workspace automatically. This is also known as a 'Headless Build'. If you're not using a win32 exe, try this:

java -cp startup.jar -noSplash -data "D:\Source\MyProject\workspace" -application org.eclipse.jdt.apt.core.aptBuild
