Exporting RCP's in 3.1M5 [message #413463]

Hello,

I observed the following problems during RCP exports:

1) Plugins, which don't contain an src directory fail to export, a
corresponding error message occurs. I strongly have to assume that
this is a bug, because e.g. library plugins don't need any src paths.
A current workaround is to create an empty src directory in the
corresponding plugin project, but that isn't really satisfying...

2) It seems that a minimum bundle spacification like

osgi.bundles=org.eclipse.core.runtime@2:start,
org.eclipse.update.configurator

is not sufficient for successful startup in contrast to Eclipse 3.0
RCP's. Why actually not? I always assumed that the configurator plugin
manages the access to the available and needed plugins (and as
described: It worked this way in 3.0 RCP's).

Greetings from Bremen,

I would like to add here that the reason for the failing functionality
seem to be that export does not export all basicly needed std plugins.
(This fact was observered by others, e.g. by Nico in the thread
"Re: Running a product with RCP runtime library 3.0.1"). The current
list of missing plugins are

org.eclipse.osgi.services_3.0.0
org.eclipse.osgi.util_3.0.0
org.eclipse.update.configurator_3.0.0
org.eclipse.ui.forms_3.0.0

These are not required unless you're referencing something in there
explicitly. You can verify this by creating a very simple RCP app using one
of the three RCP templates in 3.1M5a and go through the export process. The
app will run and none of these plug-ins will be in the plugins directory.

I often include org.eclipse.update.configurator_3.0.0 however because that
way the app can discover its own plug-ins at runtime instead of having to
list them out in the config.ini.
