Running an Eclipse RCP app as a service
Lately I've been plugging away at getting an Eclipse RCP app to run as a Windows service. I've had some successes and some set backs and I figure I might as well share 'em...
My goal was to create an Eclipse RCP application which could:
* Run as an Windows NT Service
* Provide an icon in the Windows Service Tray
* Be able to open the workbench window from a tray icon popup menu
* Be able to stop or restart the service from the popup menu
So far, I'm about 95% there, but that last 5% is going to be tricky.
