Oomph doesn't show any Products [message #1403896] Mon, 28 July 2014 09:56 Go to next message

I'm feeling like i'm spamming this forum, sorry for that.

I was testing a .setup file in windows. This file(almost) works fine under Mac OS X.

What does not work in Mac OS X is the auto discovery of the setup file. I tried putting it next to the setup-eclipse.app as well as into setup-eclipse.app/Contents/MacOs
But i can put it into the list by drag&drop on the Eclipse.org container of the projects selection list.

Now, in windows the auto discovery doesn't work either, but dragging&dropping doesn't work either. I get the cursor that indicates that the setup file can't be dropped.

Next i tried editing my user setup file at HOME/.eclipse/org.eclipse.oomph.setup/setups/user.setup according to the discussion at https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/780854/

It didn't work. THe file didn't show up. When i checked the file again, my changes were gone. Restarting the Setup again, i discovered that the Product selection list was completely empty! Clicking refresh didn't work, the popup was only there for half a second.

To fix my oomph setup, i tried to delete the HOME/.eclipse/ and HOME/.p2/ folders, but still the list was completely empty.
Half an hour later, clicking refresh suddenly works. Now my Oomph works again, but i still face the original problem: I can't get my setup into the Projects selection list.

How do i get my setup to appear in the projects selection list in Windows? Preferably without requiring drag&drop or editing of files.

The only two ways of adding your setup to the installer (as far as I know, as of 2014.07.28) is drag&drop and manual editing of the setup file.

If you can put it into the Eclipse.org list on OS X, then you should edit the org.eclipse.project.setup file instead of user.setup.

If the drag&drop doesn't let you drop it, then there may be some validation that fails, are you using the same installer version in both cases?

Maybe you could try to deploy an Oomph development Eclipse in Windows and open the setup to see if the validator shows any errors in the outline view?

There could also be some encoding problems in the setup file (I'm just trying to list problems that may be caused by different OS).

I've managed to get the setup into the project selection list by manually putting it into the org.eclipse.project.setup file, thank you Abel.
This shows that the .setup file itself is valid.

Unfortunately, this does not solve the main problem. The setup file should be picked up automatically when placed next to the setup-eclipse.exe, or at least by drag&drop.

FYI, under OS X i can drag&drop the setup into any container, e.g. github.com.

No, it must be in a catalog, but yes, drag and drop should put it there.

You're sure you're on the second page of the wizard? Of course you
can't drag and drop once it's already in there...

Yes, i am sure i am on the second page.
And the setup isn't already there.

As Andreas has pointed out in https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/i/ this only affects the standalone installer under windows.
When Using the Import Project button from within Eclipse, the dialog accepts the same file via drag&drop.

Johannes,

It works for me on Windows, so I'm not sure the problem. In any case,
something more discoverable is needed, i.e., either a context menu
action or a button (and of course it should be possible to remove a
project as well as add it), so please open an enhancement request.
