Hey,

I've build an update-site, for distributing the help system in RCP
(launching the system over JNLP). The site only holds a simple feature,
which "wraps" the eclipse help jar-files:

- org.apache.lucene_1.4.3.jar
- org.eclipse.help.appserver_3.1.0.jar
- org.eclipse.help.base.3.1.0.jar
- org.eclipse.help.ui.3.1.0.jar
- org.eclipse.help.webapp_3.1.0.jar
- org.eclipse.tomcat_4.1.30.1.jar
- org.eclipse.ui.forms_3.1.0.jar

When installing the feature via the updatemanager it hangs at 99.99% of
the time, while installing the org.eclipse.help.ui.3.1.0.jar-bundle. It
doesn't throw any exception but simply locks the ui.

I'm using the InstallCommand-class (with a ProgressMonitor attached) to
install the feature, and I can't seem to get any debug information from
that class. I'm also quite baffled by the fact that I actually (rarely,
however) DO have luck installing the feature?

I've tried rebuilding my client application, I've tried rebuilding the
update-site, nothing seems to help.

The install.log-file holds the following information:

!CONFIGURATION 1126593821036 Tue Sep 13 08:43:41 CEST 2005
!ACTIVITY 1126593834377 sep 13, 2005 08:43:54.377 file:/c:/work/XXXXXX/
site-install success

Could anyone perhaps give me a hint to what's up, and what to do to fix
this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards, Anders Skarby

Ohhh,

Found out something, it might be a thread issue. However, I'm not
entirely certain what's up. Should the Command be executed in it's own
thread, and what about the progressmonitor, should it be called in a
IRunnable implementation via the Display.syncExec()-method?

I found out that the help DOES come up, if you try to close down the
hanging app. It somewhat appears that it's a thread deadlock which occurs.

Still need help, though.
