I have an OSGi based RCP app. We use maven and tycho to deploy our features and plugins and use them in product. I want to start all bundles/plugins in this product apart from the workbench (head) ones. I have tried search online, but no luck. All tutorials use Buckminster or PDE tooling, neither of which works for me and my team. Any help or leads are much appreciated.

Thanks, Vaibhav

    There doesn't seem to be a question here. – Neil Bartlett Jul 10 '15 at 18:02
  • I want to build a headless RCP app, tried looking online but I am unable to find one. Question is: is there a way to start all bundles in osgi apart from workbench from cmd, such that everything is loaded and in memory and then workbench ui can be fired up as and when required ? – vaibhav Jul 10 '15 at 18:10
  • No, the workbench UI is started by the bundles. You would have to start an OSGi Framework without those workbench bundles. – Neil Bartlett Jul 10 '15 at 18:13
  • @NeilBartlett thanks for the tip. Let me try doing that. – vaibhav Jul 10 '15 at 18:22
  • You can also add custom application that you register with the corresponding extension point and that don't start the UI. Eclipse uses this mechanism to offer headless command line tools that you can run to [publish p2 metadata](http://help.eclipse.org/neon/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fp2_publisher.html) – stempler Nov 01 '16 at 08:48
