Re: [tcljava-user] Creating an Eclipse plug-in for TclBlend

[Gregory P. <gp...@ls...>]

Hi Mo,

Thanks for the reply. I need to use TclBlend because I have pre-existing Tcl
code that uses Itcl and some other Tcl packages. I'm also guessing that 
TclBlend
would be faster since it uses JNI.

In order to run Eclipse the user needs to have JRE installed on their 
system. Is this
enough information to get TclBlend to work? Currently, I'm able to set 
to env variables

setenv TCL_LIBRARY /a/b/c/lib/tcl8.4   where: /a/b/c/lib contains 
libtcl8.4.so
and
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /a/b/c/lib   where: /a/b/c/lib contains 
libtclblend.so

However, I'm not sure how to set these environment variables within an 
Eclipse plug-in.
