Exception launching the Eclipse Platform [message #460231]

Hello

I have just upgraded from 3.1 to 3.2.1 and my Plug-in application will
no longer start. When I use the "Launch an Eclipse application" option
on the plug-in editor, I get an "Exception launching the Eclipse
Platform" message with the following stack trace

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.getSplashLocation(Main.java:1 642)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.handleSplash(Main.java:1539)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:278)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:977)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:952)

I have not defined a splash screen for the application - this was OK in
3.1, do I need to define one for 3.2?

Thanks

Mike

Did you use a new workspace when you started? It might be that there's some old data in the pde launch configurations that you can get rid of if that's the case. You can also try deleting the launch configuration and re-creating it; that will also ensure that any cached data for the runtime version will be cleaned.

If that doesn't work, the 'runtime-workspace' (or whatever you called it) could be cleaned and you could try again.

Hello Alex

I am using the 3.1 workspace but I did add the --clean argument to the
Eclipse startup. I removed and re-created the launch configuration so I
will create a new workspace and copy my plug-in over to it

Thanks

Mike
