Load new sketch / .pde

emnullfuenf

I am writing a tool for presenting a folder full of sketches in a row. Unfortunately i can't find a way to let the editor open a new sketch and play/present it.

Any hints? Or is there another way to load and present a sketch from a .pde? I already played with processing-java console command. But killing processes was not very reliable.

Ok. Opening a sketch works like this:

editor.getBase().handleOpen("mySketch.pde");

Found it in processing.app Base.java.

And now the sketch runs via:

JavaEditor jeditor = (JavaEditor)base.getActiveEditor();
jeditor.handleRun();
jeditor.handlePresent();

Now i just need to open all the sketches, switch through the editors and focus the right Editor.

I don't fully understand.

Do you place this

editor.getBase().handleOpen("mySketch.pde");

in the processing IDE and run it as processing sketch?

Thank you!

I put the code in the template code in Eclipse: https://github.com/processing/processing/wiki/Tool-Overview

But you can run a sketch (via Eclipse) from the tool and control the editor with it.
