Hi all,
im running into a strange problem on trying to start an RCP application
by EclipseStarter.
For testing purpose i created a new Project using the wizard containing
an "RCP application with a view". Starting the RCP from within Eclipse
work perfect.
Then i created a product definition based on the working launch
configuration. The exported product works perfect fine - the platform is
started and the window with the dummy perspective is shown. The RCP can
be started using the binary file or using the command
java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_xx.jar
Both ways work perfect.
But then, the troubles start - i need to start an RCP from within Java.
For Starting a instance of the platform the use of
org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter is recommended.
i'm using the following code snippet:
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------
Map<String, String> initProps = new HashMap<String, String>();
initProps.put("osgi.splashPath", "platform:/base/plugins/testRCP");
// corresponding to generated config.ini
initProps.put("eclipse.product", "testRCP.product");
initProps.put("osgi.clean", "true");
initProps.put("osgi.dev", "true");
initProps.put("osgi.debug", "true");
initProps.put("osgi.install.area", this.installLocation);
initProps.put("osgi.instance.area", this.workspace);
initProps.put("osgi.configuration.area", this.config);
initProps.put("osgi.bundles",
"org.eclipse.equinox.common@2:start,org.eclipse.core.runtime@start ,com.ibm.icu,javax.servlet,org.eclipse.core.commands,org.ecl ipse.core.contenttype,org.eclipse.core.databinding,org.eclip se.core.expressions,org.eclipse.core.jobs,org.eclipse.core.r untime.compatibility.auth,org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibi lity.registry,org.eclipse.equinox.app,org.eclipse.equinox.pr eferences,org.eclipse.equinox.registry,org.eclipse.help,org. eclipse.jface,org.eclipse.jface.databinding,org.eclipse.osgi .services,org.eclipse.swt,org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86,or g.eclipse.ui,org.eclipse.ui.workbench,testRCP,org.eclipse.eq uinox.launcher,org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86 ");
initProps.put("osgi.bundles.defaultStartLevel", "4");
// according to config.ini
initProps.put("osgi.user.area", "this.userArea");
initProps.put("osgi.noShutdown", "true");
EclipseStarter.setInitialProperties(initProps);
String[] equinoxArgs = {"-console"};
EclipseStarter.startup(equinoxArgs, null);
------------------------------------------------------------ ---
but i did not manage to get the rcp running. At the end i tried
initProps.put("eclipse.ignoreApp", "true");
initProps.put("eclipse.application.launchDefault", "false");
starting only the osgi-console. the command "apps" gives the following
output:
> testRCP.application [launchable]
but trying to start the rcp with the command
"starApps testRCP.application" fails with the following stack trace:
------------------------------------------------------------ --
osgi> startApp testRCP.application

Unfortunately I can't do see anything helpful in this stacktrace. can
anybody help?
Starting the same application from the same folder using java -jar or
the binary file works fine.. why?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Not sure, but I think you need to specify your application with
-application. Put that in what you call "equinoxArgs" or I think yo can
define it as an eclipse property. From looking at the code, it looks
like it's not finding a default application.

Hi Francis
thanks for your reply.
putting the argument into the String[] equinoxArgs doesnt' work (altough
it works perfect when using the binary).
if I use the equivalent property "eclipse.application" I end up with the
same situation as described below. apps on osgi-consol gives the
following output:
testRCP.application [running] [not launchable]
so the application is runnable but can't be launched?
I can't find any error messages / log files.. nothing at all (neither in
the workspace nor inside the config directory.
do you have antother idea? can anybody else help? thanks a lot!
