Eclipse Product Export Wizard Error [message #1005591]

Hello,

I am trying to export a product based on a generated emf model editor. The product launches fine from the IDE, but the Eclipse Export Wizard fails with this error:

Problem: failed to create task or type apitooling.apigeneration
Cause: The name is undefined.
Action: Check the spelling.
Action: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared.
Action: Check that any <presetdef>/<macrodef> declarations have taken place.

Am I missing a tooling plugin?

I am using Kempler M4
Build id: 20121220-1030

Thanks for your help!

greetings
Christoph

That task comes from the org.eclipse.pde.api.tools bundle. You should have it if you have PDE installed. Launching doesn't require the bundle to be built so this task won't be run. Are you using API Tools features in your bundle? Are the API Tools preference pages available?

Hi Curtis

thanks for your help. I downloaded the RCP package and it works with that. I guess PDE is not installed in the Java Developer package.

Greetings
Christoph
