Could we increase the priority of this bug. Some times it is usefull to launch external programs? It would be interesting to fix bug 4835 as well since it is related.
FH to investigate. Talk to SSQ about it.
Small code that shows the bug =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- import java.io.File; import org.eclipse.swt.program.Program; public class TestProgram { public static void main(String[] args){ Program[] programs = Program.getPrograms(); Program program = null; for (int i = 0; i < programs.length; i++) { Program p = programs[i]; if( p.getName().equals("WordPad Document") ) { program = p; break; } } if (program == null) { System.out.println("Program not found"); return; } String filename = "D:\\eclipse\\runtime-workspace\\Test\\a.txt"; File f = new File (filename); if( f.exists() ) //just to be sure... System.out.println("Sucess: "+program.execute(filename)); } } =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Exception hide inside the Program.execute: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: "%ProgramFiles%\Windows NT\Accessories\WORDPAD.EXE" "D:\eclipse\runtime-workspace\Test\a.txt" error=2
