Hi

I was setting up a development environment on a Mac this weekend (for the first time) and imported a DIApplication project I had already created on Windows. The project was created using the JavaFX/OSGI/OSGi Application Project wizard with the option of using Eclipse DI.

On windows the application starts up fine showing the initial stage. On Mac I can see Equinox starting up logging debug info. If I enable the console I can use it, i.e. "ss" lists the bundles. The Stage is never shown. It seems to me as if @PostConstruct on MainApplication is never called.

The plugin.xml looks like it should:

<plugin>
<extension id="application" point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications">
	<application thread="any" cardinality="*" visible="true" >
		<run class="org.eclipse.fx.ui.di.DIApplication" >
			<parameter name="mainClass" value="de.kware.app.loginDisplay.MainApplication" />
		</run>
	</application>
</extension>
<extension id="product" point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
	<product application="de.kware.app.loginDisplay.application" name="LoginDisplay" >
		<property name="appName" value="LoginDisplay" />
	</product>
</extension>
</plugin>

And the product is configured to start this application. The launching vom arguments are on the Mac (on Windows only the first argument is used).

-Dorg.osgi.framework.bundle.parent=ext
-XstartOnFirstThread 
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts

Could this be an issue with javax.annotation? I do not import javax.annotation in the MANIFEST.MF. The product has javax.annotation.jre as a dependency.

Or is this a configuration issue?

Thanks for your help!
Christoph

You need to remove "-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts" - they'll block the event
queue.

I thought we generate a .launch which is already holding the correct
values? If we don't we definately should fix this in 2.2.0
