ClassNotFound SWTError on deployed Startup [message #538241]

Mon, 07 June 2010 01:10

I have an Eclipse product based on features which

validates ok
runs ok from a launch configuration
exports ok from export wizard

When I start the native launcher, the application fails to load. Reading the attached dump, I believe that the root cause is a ClassNotFoundError for SWTError, as shown below.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.swt.SWTError
	at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClassInternal(BundleLoader.java:494)
	at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:410)
	at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:398)
	at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.baseadaptor.DefaultClassLoader.loadClass(DefaultClassLoader.java:105)
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
	... 41 more

I have verified that both the plugin

org.eclipse.swt_3.5.2.v3557f.jar

and platform fragment

org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.5.2.v3557f.jar

are in the plugins directory.

Does anyone have an idea as to the cause of this issue?
Can anybody point me to a debugging strategy?

I have found the issue, but I am still no closer to the solution. My problem is that the

product .ini

file, usually called

eclipse.ini

to correspond with the launcher

eclipse.exe

contains the following:

-os
${target.os}
-ws
${target.ws}
-arch
${target.arch}
-nl
${target.nl}
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

If I replace

${target.os}

with

win32

${target.ws}

with

win32

${target.arch}

with

x86

${target.nl}

with

en_AU

my product runs immediately.

These are the values specified in my current target definition. I believe that the replacement process does not update the file correctly.

Maybe this is due to the fact that my launcher is called

mint

, not

eclipse

.

My problem is that I cannot see what the product export wizard does, when it runs. I will post this as a new thread.

You don't need -os, -ws, -arch in your launcher .ini file. The fact that
those are there is this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=278598

The eclipse executable automatically adds -os, -ws and -arch to the command
line for you, the values it gives will be based on whatever platform the
launcher was compiled for.

See http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&goto=53908 2&

Amazing, what a misleading Exception this bug provokes.
