title: Using an IDE to develop OpenSplice DDS applications
body: <p>I keep trying to configure Open Splice on the Eclipse platform but I'm not making any progress.  I use the Open Splice DDS in the Java Standalone mode. The Eclipse platform I work on is the Eclipse edition for Java EE developers (Helios).</p>
  
  <p>The problem is: when I try to create a run configuration I need to select an application type from the left hand side menu. It seems that none of the available application types can be used to create a working run configuration for a batch file. I want to be able to start, stop, and open splice from inside Eclipse as well as to run the preprocessor and my applications without having to use a cmd console. I'm new to both Eclipse and OpenSplice and any help would be really important to me.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
