Hi,
I'm trying to figure out which libraries are needed for my RCP
application to run on other platform than Windows. I downloaded the
platform specific packages from the Eclipse download page (under the RCP
Runtime Library). Let's take for example Linux 32 bits. The only native
library I can see in the downloaded package is:
- org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86-3.5.0.v3550b.jar
However, in the main distribution of Eclipse, I can also find this library:
- org.eclipse.core.filesystem.linux.x86-1.2.0.v20080604-1400.j ar
Is the filesystem library needed on Linux? Or should I only rely on what
I downloaded for the RCP runtime? Why this difference?
Thanks,
Jean

Just out of curiosity, why is the
org.eclipse.core.filesystem.linux.x86-1.2.0.v20080604-1400.j ar not
needed for an RCP runtime on Linux? Are the RCP applications not using
certain native libraries that the Eclipse IDE does (but the IDE is an
RCP app, right?)?
|
An RCP app doesn't include any of the "workspace" plugins. The IDE is an RCP app, but an RCP app that includes the workspace.

One more question: is there a way to automatically load a native library
or shall I need to have different config.ini file for each platform to
include the correct libraries?
|
Yes, you use Bundle-NativeCode header in the MANIFEST.MF and you can load the correct DLLs or .so depending on your platform. It's a little difficult to get right, though.
