Hi,

I have encounter various problems getting Tutorial 3 to run and export on both a Mac and Windows

I'm using Java8 build 102 and the following problems persists on various installations of e(fx)clipse. In particular I've tried it with Kepler 4.3.0 from eclipse.org (setting both the ide and runtime to the nightly build update site) as well as using prebuild from the nightly builds (both 4.3.0 and Beta8-4.3.0). I've been using efxclipse with Java8 to develop JavaFX applications but I'm a newbi when it comes to E4.

Here is what I get:
a) I've created the e4 Media example from Tutorial 3 and set up the runtime environment.
b) right click on product.product.launch and selecting run-as works as expected on both Mac and Windows)

c) Now try to run the project from the product.product Overview panel ("Launch and Eclipse application")
On windows: runs as expected
On Mac: eclipse build and launch the application but nothing come up and nothing is printed to Console either. I can kill the process fro the Console view but that's all.

d) If I now try to run the application as in step b) above I get the same results, i.e. nothing. (again, only on the mac) even though it worked before I tried step c. It works fine on Windows

e) I tried to export the product from the Overview in product.product
On the Mac:
The exported folder seems to be fine but the Eclipse.app is broken. In fact it does not include the binary at all. Contents/MacOS contains only eclipse.ini
On Windows:
No eclipse.exe is created the rest of the folder seems to be fine.

Am I missing something?
Thanks,

Yarden

that is expected the launch config that has been created has special
flags for mac set else the eclipse launcher is grabing the event loop on
os-x and javafx can not be bootstraped. if you use the product file you
override the generated launch config and things fail.

expected - you can not use the eclipse launcher because it will give you
the same problems than above.

if you bootstrap real application useing
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Efxclipse/Tutorials/Tutorial4 you'll notice
pom.xml are created and a build.xml if you first run the pom.xml in
releng and afterwards the build.xml you'll get an e4 app packaged as a
dmg which will hold a launcher exe, jre, ...
