Hi there,
we are currently trying to migrate our RCP application from Eclipse 3.4
to 3.8 SR1 and adding update funtionality via P2.
Our product based on features exports fine and even runs propperly. The
problem is when we try to export the product with "generate metadata
repository" checked. The build fails with the following:
Message:
--------

The following error occurred while executing this line:

Googling the problem just led me to some entries at pastebin.com and an
open exchange between Daniel Megert and Kim Moir at
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/platform-releng-dev/msg18813.html
An trainer encouraged us to ask for help in the newsgroups and here we are.
Any help is welcome.
Kind regard,
Max

In response to the email you sent me.
Dear Mrs Moir
I hope I have taken your "Private Emails Hide the Details" blog entry to heart correctly.
Since our research was not yet successful and your mail on the mailing list makes me feel like this guy http://xkcd.com/979/ , please let me draw your attention on my posting in the Eclipse forums:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/267832/
Is there a chance you could have a look and maybe respond to this?
Best regards,
M. Emmerling

Hi
Thanks for sending me a link to this and and xkcd comic. I'm a big sucker for xkcd comics, so it certainly made me go look at your link. Unfortunately, I spend a lot of time deep in the bowels of bugzilla so I don't have time to look at the forums that often. In the future, please call me Kim versus Mrs. Moir. I didn't change my last name when I got married, Mrs. Moir is my Mom to me  We're pretty casual at Eclipse, some may say we're like family.
Anyways, regarding your p2 question. Are you running the director from within eclipse or via an Ant call? Usually, a problem invoking the p2 director means that the dependencies that you're trying to provision don't exist in the repo that you are installing from. If you are running the director call from the command line via Ant in a build, it should generate a log when the director call fails. If you look at this log, you'll see something like cannot resolve dependencies etc. which should point you to the problem.

Since this is my first time to get in contact with the Eclipse community I thought a more formal style would be more polite. So thank you very much for your candid response

We are running the director from within Eclipse (the products export wizard).
Though our Ant skills are virtually non-existent, I managed to create a very simple build.xml with the help of Lars Vogels tutorials.
As a result I could fix several unresolved dependencies, but I'm still struggling with some javac errors regarding some unresolved types in javax.crypto (we bundle our product with a bouncy castle patched jre) 
Thank you for giving me some pointers in the right direction.

We were facing a similar problem when trying to export an Eclipse RCP product, getting an error just like the one first reported:
The following error occurred while executing this line:
C:\Eclipse_RCP_Indigo_SR1\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.7.0.v20110512-1320\scripts\genericTargets.xml:241:
A problem occured while invoking the director.
Things started to get clearer when I edited the genericTargets.xml file, adding the following line on the <target name="runDirector" > section:
<record name="c:/users/myUserName/desktop/build.log" loglevel="verbose" append="false"/>
After this change, a build.log file was written on my desktop when I tried to export my product. This file showed had the information that some plugins were missing from our product, but this dependency was not being warned inside Eclipse.
