Default How to open a source editor from external program? - 10-19-2008, 05:47 AM

Let's say Eclipse is already running, and has a Java Project open containing a file X.java. I want an external program to be able to instruct Eclipse to open this file (if it isn't already), and bring into view a certain line (as with CTRL-L command).

On Macs, we've got Automator that can address many applications, but not Eclipse. Heck, back in the stone age days of the Amiga, loads of programs could be driven from outside entities through the mechanism of AREXX ports... Is there anything similar for Eclipse so that the above requirement can be implemented?

Thx.
