Hi! what I'm looking for is a local installation of Erlang runtime inside a single folder - w/o executing any platform-dependent installer.
For illustration: I'm thinking of the following layout in Eclipse: /Applications/Eclipse 3.6/plugins/org.erlang.runtime_13.0.0/<all files needed to run an Erlang app> Erlang Apps than can be executed via command line "/Applications/Eclipse 3.6/plugins/org.erlang.runtime_13.0.0/bin/erl <arguments>" Could this be done? If so, any ideas how? I could imagine that hosting several runtimes in Eclipse enabling users to use different runtimes for different projects could be a nice feature (although I'm "just" interested to run Erlang Apps from within Eclipse).
