Add LogWatcher plug-in to my RCP app? [message #497000]

Hi folks,

I have been taking a look at LogWatcher RCP plugin (http://graysky.sourceforge.net/) for displaying local log files and seems to be a quite good solution.

I have done one test adding that plug-in to my Eclipse IDE, for that I just had to unzip the plugin in my $ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins folder and after that the LogWatcher View was appearing in the "Window/Show View/Other" menu.

Now I would like to add the plugin to one RCP application I had done myself so in the plugin.xml and product files I have added the dependency to include LogWatcher.

If I run my app using plugin.xml (launched from Eclipse IDE) it works fine and I can see LogWatcher View but once I generate my product executable the View cannot be loaded as it says it cannot find LogWatcher classes.

How can I add this plugin and any other one to my executable app? Apart from adding it to my product "Configuration" tab do I have to place somewhere else the jar file of the plug-in?

Thanks in advance,

Mh

Hi Moley,

It can be that the logwatcher itself also depends on plugins that you did not
include. You have to add them to the dependencies (not to the configuration,
at least not to enable it for packaging).

If all fails, run you application with -console, enter "ss", find the number
of the logwatcher plugin and enter "diag nnnn".

Best regards,

Wim Jongman

Hi Wim,

Thanks a lot for your response, I have checked all necessary dependencies and everything seems to be OK. This is what I am getting now:

- If I launch my RCP app using "Launch and Eclipse Application" option in the Overview tab of my plugin.xml it works fine, the LogWatch plugin is loaded correctly.

- If I launch my RCP app using "Launch and Eclipse Application" option in the Overview tab of my app.product file it works fine too.

- Just when I launch my RCP app from the executable version I have generated using the "Export Product Wizard" option is when the LogWatcher plugin is not launched and the "Class not found" errors appear.

I think is just a matter of placing LogWatcher jar file somewhere else but I do not know how to fix that! Sad

Hi again Wim,

I have run my executable using the console as you suggested me and these are the results:

1. I have launched my executable using the "-console" option.
2. In the osgi console I have run the "ss" command to check LogWatcher plugin number and this is the result:

16 <<LAZY>> org.graysky.eclipse.logwatcher_1.4.0.1

What does "LAZY" mean? Does it means the plugin is not activated?I have seen that there are several plugins which are LAZY and other are RESOLVED?¿¿??¿

3. Using the ID=16 I have run the command:

osgi> diag 16
reference:file:plugins/org.graysky.eclipse.logwatcher_1.4.0. 1 [16]
No unresolved constraints.

Does it means the plugin is correctly installed?
Why is not working properly?

Alright, so this indicates that the plugin is exported and available.
<<LAZY>> means that is is there but no one requested for it yet. Can you do
the same <diag> for the plugin that requires the graysky plugin to see what
that gives you.
