[news.eclipse.modeling.gmf] Re: Java Application

[Tomas Zijdemans <trommas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Found some nice guides to make rcp standalone, installable and platform 
independent. Check out: 
http://www.instantiations.com/rcpdeveloper/demos.html

But I still wonder how I can launch my editor with a parameter. 
Providing the parameter through JFace should be simple enough, but then 
how do I change my code to handle the parameter?

Regards

Tomas
