[SOLVED] Validation errors when trying to launch Eclipse Application [message #1375612] Fri, 23 May 2014 04:27 Go to next message

Here's my little problem:

I had been using Eclipse Kepler DSL package, with Xtext and Xtend support, on my Windows laptop. I backed everything (all source anyway) up to "the cloud" using SVN. However I didn't back up any support libraries.

Now my Windows laptop is dying some sort of hard drive death and I'm trying to recreate everything on Mint Linux. I've checked out all my code from SVN and my source explorer window looks the way I expect it to.

Eclipse seems to work OK. I can generate my two language infrastructures that are part of my project, so I know that Xtext and Xtend are working OK. But when I try to launch the new Eclipse application, I am getting the following validation errors.

I don't have the slightest idea what to do about it. Please help if you can. A hint. Anything! Many thanks.

Hi the error is that your Plugin respectively its dependencies Miss
some transitive dependencies ( either they are not there or in
different version or - depending on how you start the stuff - product
based or plugin based - you did not select all required plugins

Hi Christian, thanks for your response. I'm not at my development system right now, but I searched based on your clues and found this help topic:

http://help.eclipse.org/kepler/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.pde.doc.user%2Fguide%2Ftools%2Feditors%2Fmanifest_editor%2Fdependencies.htm

which I will check out and try later tonight. This project is something I work on in my spare time for fun and as a result I often forget what I did or how I got to a certain place.

So here's another question - clearly my backup strategy did not back up the files which told Eclipse what my plugin dependencies were. What is that file? My project contains 2 DSLs (Xtext/Xtend) and so there are 8 source sections, multiple MANIFEST.MF files, etc.

GW

The issue is unfolding... slowly... so I had to go into "Run Configurations" and change the setting

index.php/fa/18137/0/

to:

index.php/fa/18138/0/
.

This at least allowed the 2nd Eclipse instance to launch.

Once there, I found that all of the external Jars I had added to the build path were not found since the project was expecting them to be in their original Windows system path. So I re-added all of them giving the Linux system path and deleted the old ones. Not a huge problem but it would be nice if the path to external JARs could be relative to the source.

Now my plugins "sort of" work, although there is some confusion about the package name for generated source vs. the filename of the compilation unit itself. But I will start a new thread for that.
