Should I need to start Eclipse twice for RCP support? [message #1755442]

Hi,
As you may have seen from a couple of other posts, I'm working on getting Jenkins to build my plugin, stand up a brand new Eclipse environment, and run my Jubula Test Suite.

What I'm seeing right now is that when I create my new environment (unzip eclipse to new directory), copy the org.eclipse.jubula.rc.rcp plugin over, and modify config.ini, I still need to start Eclipse twice to get the plugin to register/start up correctly.

The first time I start Eclipse, I get the org.eclipse.jubula.rc.rcp plugin listed in installation details. Second time I get:

org.eclipse.jubula.rc.rcp
org.eclipse.jubula.rc.rcp.common
org.eclipse.jubula.rc.rcp.e4
org.eclipse.jubula.rc.rcp.e4.swt
org.eclipse.jubula.rc.rcp.swt

At this point it will connect to Jubula as an AUT.
Is there a way to get all these plugins to be 'installed' on the first run? Or do I need to get my jenkins test to start, stop, start eclipse?

Cheers,
KEv.

Yes. I have observed the same behavior with Jubula 8.4.

I discovered that if you run eclipse.exe with the "-intialize" parameter, rather than "-clean", it will do the same as clean, but as soon as it has initialized, it will exit. So this appears to be the way to install/register the full set of jubula plugins before running eclipse as the AUT.

Still other problems, but will start other threads to keep this one clean.

Hello Kev,

when we test RCP applications, we add the plugin as a part of the build process:
http://testing.bredex.de/files/content/software/documentation/userManual/toolkit/ch04s03s03.html#setting-up-an-rcp-aut

Perhaps that could help?

Best regards,
Alex
