Startup order problem in installed RCP application [message #756480]

Hi,

I want to build and deploy my RCP application headless using buckminster (using Eclipse IDE the project exports works fine). I tried followed the Relf Ebert tutorial so (create p2.site, manual install using stndalone director).

Problem now is the exception when starting the manually installed application (after created with director):

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service. Ensure that the org.eclipse.core.runtime bundle is resolved and started (see config.ini).
at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:74)

What I found out already is that the config.ini created by buckminster or director (don't know who creates it) has following line:

osgi.bundles=....,reference\:file\:org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.6.0.v20100505.jar@4,....

Changing the value "4" by "start" manually it works. But how to tell it buckminster?
I tried to add start level configuration in my product specification (PRODUCTNAME.product) - this seems to be ignored during invoking buckinster site.p2 action.

Does anyone know where to continue searching for the root problem. And why does buckminster creates a config.ini file that doesn't work from by default?

Thx
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Do you have the org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature in your target platform?

org.eclipse.equinox.executable is located in "targetPlatform\features" folder.
So I think if the feature is needed it can be resolved.
Do I have to include it somehow?

The problem also occurred when performing the site.p2 from inside IDE and than installing using director manually.

The target platform in eclipse is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<?pde version="3.6"?>

<target name="serviceTargetPlatform">
<locations>

<location includeAllPlatforms="true" includeMode="slicer" includeSource="false" type="InstallableUnit">
<unit id="org.eclipse.rcp.feature.group" version="3.6.2.r362_v20101104-9SAxFMKFkSAqi8axkv1ZjegmiBLY"/>
<unit id="org.eclipse.rcp.source.feature.group" version="3.6.2.r362_v20101104-9SAxFMKFkSAqi8axkv1ZjegmiBLY"/>
<repository location="file:///c:/workspace/alereServiceTargetPlatform/repo/"/>
</location>

<location id="org.eclipse.equinox.executable" path="c:\workspace\alereServiceTargetPlatform\repo" type="Feature"/>
</locations>
</target>

Don't know why the second location is needed explicitely and not covered by first location (but without it can't choose export multiple platforms in eclipse). When installing with director I simply called director with "-r file://c:/workspace/alereServiceTargetPlatform/repo" because I don't know how to tell director or buckminster to load the .target file.

Maybe the target platform is not created as it should. Does anyone know a good howto to create a target platform that can be used headless and for cross platform - or am I too stupid to call director with the .target file somehow?

thx
