The Launcher is a stand-alone application
used to create document specifications and generate output documents
from these specifications. The Launcher can run also from a command-line
utility to generate a set of documents. You can choose manual or wizard-driven
document generation, as you are most comfortable. The Launcher is
also accessible from Document Studio; when used from Document Studio,
you can automatically synchronize the document specification with
the current template.
Tip: You can access both the Launcher
and Document Studio from the toolbar as Eclipse perspective tabs:
- From either the Launcher or Document Studio application, click
the
Open Perspective icon.
- Select the perspective to add.
- Click OK. Both the Document Studio and
Launcher are accessible as tabs from your toolbar:
