I'm having a really hard time getting an Eclipse RCP application working with java persistence.
I initially created a JPA project called Data. I have one managed class, MyData, from an Oracle database.
I then converted it to a plugin project.
Next I created a new Plug-in project using the wizard. I checked generate an activator....., ....will make contributions to the UI and selected yes to create RCP app.
I added my JPA project, Data, to the plugin dependencies of my RCP app.
In my RCP app i created a new Visual Class using RCP>View as the style. In this class I have a button that selects data from the class in my JPA project. Everything seems to work well. I am able to write the contents of the table to the console.
Next I created an extension to my RCP view. I added it to the views and perspectiveExtensions.
When I run the RCP project and click the button to retrieve the data from my class in the JPA project i get the follwoing error...

I've added all the EclipseLink jars from my JPA project to my RCP buildpath...
javax.persistence_1.99.0.v200906021518.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.antlr_1.1.2.v20090612-r4475.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.asm_1.1.2.v20090612-r4475.jar

org.eclipse.persistence.jpa_1.1.2.v20090612-r4475.jar

I've been working at this for almost a week and I don't know what to try next. I've tried searching the web and the only thing I found said that you need to separate the data into a JPA plugin project and add it as a plugin dependency in the RCP app.

I took the 5 jar files and created a new Plugin project from existing jar files with them. I then added this project as a dependecny in my RCP project.
Now I get the following error message...

I'm sure this is a reference issue but I've tried adding references to these 5 files in every place imaginable.

My persistence.xml file looks like this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="1.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd">
	<persistence-unit name="test" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
		<provider>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.PersistenceProvider</provider>
		<class>my.Class</class>
		<properties>
			<property name="eclipselink.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@mydb:123:sid" />
			<property name="eclipselink.jdbc.user" value="user" />
			<property name="eclipselink.jdbc.password" value="passwd" />
			<property name="eclipselink.jdbc.driver" value="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" />
		</properties>
	</persistence-unit>
</persistence>


If I run my rcp view standalone as a javabean it works fine. I only have an issue running inside the rcp app.

Hi!

Humm... another idea: did you try the buddy class loading? It allows a "reverse" dependency (that's to say when A depends on B, you want B to have visibility on A).

In your persistence plugin, add (in your MANIFEST.MF):
Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered


In the plugin where you store your persistence.xml (in your MANIFEST.MF):
Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: <persistence plugin id>

So, in my plugin project, which stores my persistence objects, I added the following to MANIFEST.MF...
Eclipse-BuddyPolicy: registered

In my RCP application I added the following to MANIFEST.MF...
Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: <PluginProjectName>

Still doesn't work and I get the same error.
My RCP Application does not contain a persistence.xml file. Is that ok? The persistence.xml file is stored in my plugin project which contains my persistence objects.

I recommend having a look at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/OSGi/Developing _with_EclipseLink_OSGi_in_PDE.
I've got my rcp applications work well using EclipseLink and without
making use of the buddy-mechanism.

That should be okay...

HTH,
Oliver
