Problems exporting a Plugin [message #1737966]

Hi i work with Neon and the e(fx) 2.4.0.
I build a pure e4 App, which works as a container for new plugins.
Then i created a new plugin that implements a fragment to build different FXViews on top of it.
Everything works fine in Eclipse. But when i export the product, i'll get FXCanvas cannot be resolved to a type when i start the application.
What am i doing wrong. What am i missing.
I searched the forum and found nothing what suited the actual release of e(fx) 2.4.0
Please help me, i stick with this problem for hours.

Sloved it.
Just put /lib/jfxswt.jar in the runntime Classpath.
Ist this the right way? I thought e(fx) does all the magic.

No that is not the way to go! How did you export the app? Is the adapter fragment exported, is the fragment mentionned in the exported config.ini

I exported the app via the product configuration.

Back at my Desk.

The adapter fragment is exported but not mentioned in the config.ini.
How should this be done?
Thanx

Well this is done by p2! The export through clicking inside your IDE is
discouraged and unmaintained!

You need to setup a tycho build who does things appropriately! IIRC this
entry is written at the point the p2-director is installing the features
into the application.

Naturally you can add this line manually to your RCP, take a look at the
config.ini of your eclipse install to see how the line looks like.

Another alternative is that you specify:

-Dosgi.framework.extensions=org.eclipse.fx.osgi

In your .products VM-args section but i consider all of those options as
work arounds and you really should setup an headless build for your
application based on tycho.
