Hi

I developed some plugins (not RCP) and I'd like to create an eclipse
product with these plugins to be downloaded and used a standard eclipse
installation...

I try my plugin running an Eclipse Application, then I create a Product
Configuration starting from the above launch configuration, thus I have

Product: org.eclipse.sdk.ide
Application: org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench

now, no matter the plugins I add to my workspace I cannot "Launch an
Eclipse application" from the product view, since I always get

java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench"
could not be found in the registry.

If I use the "Eclipse Product export wizard" to create the product, it
stops with this error:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=profile,
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=,
action=).
Problems downloading artifact:
osgi.bundle,org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.registry, 3.3.0.v20091116.

but org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.registry is imported in my
workspace...

am I doing something wrong? Is it the right procedure to create this
customized eclipse product?

many thanks in advance
Lorenzo

I'm not sure about the export errors but I might have an idea on the
first. I suspect your product that's using the "application" extension of
id "org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench" is simply missing the plugin that
declares that extension a runtime. I think that plugin's id is also
"org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench" so you could try adding it in the .product
configuration editor's "dependency" tab.

Actually, it's already there: here's a part of the plugins

<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.cheatsheets"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.console"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.editors"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.forms"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.ide"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.ide.application"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.intro"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.navigator"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.views"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.tabbed"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.workbench"/>
<plugin id="org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor"/>

but it still does not work... probably it's not possible to do what I
intend to so?

cheers
Lorenzo
