calling external Apps from plug-ins

[Andy]

Hi!
I'm new to java and eclipse

I want to make a simple plug-in that will call my executable file.
is there a quick and dirty way?

thanks

Hi Andy,

This question is off topic here, the forum is for discussing oXygen XML editor related problems. For Eclipse questions you should use the Eclipse support channels starting at http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/index.html .

That being said, you do not need a plugin to call an executable file, you can just configure an external tool for this.

Best Regards,
George
