I wrote an Eclipse plug-in using SWTBot to automate Eclipse through its GUI. Actually I’m running this plug-in from Eclipse with Eclipse Application run configuration to test it. That opens a new Eclipse instance. After that I can start the plug-in with a toolbarbutton using ui.actionSets extension.

I’d like to start an Eclipse from command prompt and would like this plug-in to start automatically. In my case Eclipse shall be started with GUI of course.

Do you know any working solution for this problem?

    You can use the org.eclipse.ui.startup extension point. You need to provide a IStartup implementing class that is called when the workbench is started.

    Note: this is not a complete fail safe method, as the user is able to disable this extension point in the Workbench > Startup preference page.
