stupid plugin question of the week [message #164018]

Hi all,

I didn't get a bite on this question in the eclipse.platform group, so
maybe someone here can help.

If I make a new plugin project with the wizard (entering an arbitrary
name and accepting all defaults), I'm unable to launch a runtime workbench.

In the log, it shows:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "org.eclipse.ui.workbench" could
not be found in the registry.

Adding plugin dependencies and starting up installed plugins doesn't
seem to help.

I'm having this problem in 3.0 M9 and 3.0 RC1 on WinXP, but not 3.0 M7.

Here's the question:
1) Can anyone replicate this issue on RC1 / M9?
2) If so, any ideas what to do?

It seems silly, but I'm having the same problem with two existing
plugins that I had hoped I had already migrated to 3.0.

You should check bugzilla to see if similar problem has already been
reported. If not, then open a new bug report against Platform/runtime.

You better do it now. If this problem is serious, it needs to be check
asap.

Platform/Select All" ?

BTW, where is official *stupid plugin question of the week* ? :)

I hadn't tried that, but it looks like they are all checked by default.
I'm working from a fresh install.

Here's an update:
1) The problem only rears its head when using a workspace outside the
eclipse install (whether specified through a "-data *workspacepath*" or
the workspace chooser). It doesn't happen when the workspace is
...\eclipse\workspace

2) It still happens in RC2

To date, the *stupid plugin question of the week* is an underground

catch on, though. Soon we might see websites, T-shirts, and maybe even
cool acronyms that people can place within their signatures on \. posts
to demonstrate their allegiance

There is no "Official" *stupid plugin question of the week*.
Nothing to see here.
Please move along.
We have everything under control.

ciao,

Although, I'd support an RTFM Question of the Week. The winner
would be the question that required the fewest mouse-clicks/keystrokes
to find. An RTFM-1 question is possible (e.g. Ctrl-Shift-F2), but I
suspect that typical ratings would be in the RTFM-5 to RTFM-15 range.
Anything more than an RTFM-30 would imply that we might need to fix the
docs/help-system. This could also help to further populate/refine
FAQs. BTW, the numbers used above have not been validated in practice.

This idea stems from a google drinking game I used to play back in MA.
Take cards from a game like Trivial Pursuit. Pick a question and see
who can find the shortest path to the answer starting from the google
homepage. Shots are consumed. Hilarity ensues. Of course we never
did this at the office. Unreal Tournament: Yes. Drinking Games: No.

Sorry being not polite.

Good idea - any URLs?
