java.lang.RuntimeException: Application could not be found in the registry [message #683675]

Hi People,
I exported my rcp plugin based on the running configuration I previously had.
When trying to run it, I get the following error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "com.myapp.app.Run" could not be found in the registry. The applications available are: org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner, org.eclipse.equinox.app.error.
	at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppContainer.startDefaultApp(EclipseAppContainer.java:248)

	at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1408)
	at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1384)

I tripled checked - all the plugins are present in the RCP plugins dir and I also have the appropriate extension point in plugin.xml:
<extension
id="myapplication"
name="My Application"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications">
<application>
<run class="com.myapp.app.Application"/>
</application>
</extension>
And also have the product extension present...

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Lior

This is a very fundamental error, that can basically mean everything.
One possible reason is that your code depends on Java 1.5 features and
your RCP program is started by Java 1.4. So check first whether the
logging shows that the Java version is appropriate.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your help! Smile

I've checked for the java versions, and it seems to match both for the compilation and running processes.
Any other suggestions?

I also attached the entire log file, perhaps there is something I have totally missed..

exported it where? and then dropped it in an eclipse/plugins and tried to launch it (which definitely wouldn't work)?

Or you can't run it from within eclipse?

Hi Paul,
I exported it using the Product configuration wizard to a dir on my home directory .. (the whole process is automatic, and I didn't need to copy any files manually)
From within eclipse, I'm able to run the application prefectly...

did the product config export create any logs or zips in the directory you exported it to?

For my case, "Clear the configuration area before launching" didn't help out. I noticed that my plugin.xml file get restore to basic [mean with limited info]/truncated. Luckily I still got backup the whole workspace. By replace the old plugin.xml, the issue resolved.
