Building Eclipse with Eclipse [message #28862]

Originally posted by: ramtung.gmail.com

In a research project, I have to make some modifications to various parts
of Eclipse, so I cannot contribute my work as a plug-in. I have to work on
the Eclipse sources.

I imported Eclipse plug-in source files into Eclipse, but when I want to
build, I get several error messages, many of them rooted from 4-5 errors
like this:

Project org.eclipse.osgi is missing required library: 'osgi/collx.jar'

The source files are taken from eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.2M4.zip.

Is something wrong with the entire method (i.e., trying to build Eclipse
with Eclipse), or it can be fixed somehow? Please note that I have a task
that cannot be done by writing a plug-in!

This post would likely be better answered if you asked it at

I eventually found where I could get the files. If you follow the link to this page http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.ercp/or g.eclipse.osgi/osgi/?cvsroot=Technology_Project#dirlist then you should get a list of the files that you are missing.

If you click through on each file you should be able to download them. Put them in the C:\eclipse-src\plugins\org.eclipse.osgi\osgi folder.

Hopefully that should be you sorted, although I now have other issues with regards to org.eclipse.swt:

Package 'org.eclipse.swt.accessibility' does not exist in this plug-in org.eclipse.swt/META-INF MANIFEST.MF
Package 'org.eclipse.swt.awt' does not exist in this plug-in org.eclipse.swt/META-INF MANIFEST.MF

Package 'org.eclipse.swt.widgets' does not exist in this plug-in org.eclipse.swt/META-INF MANIFEST.MF
Package 'org.eclipse.swt' does not exist in this plug-in org.eclipse.swt/META-INF MANIFEST.MF
The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved org.eclipse.swt
Unable to read '.classpath' file of project org.eclipse.swt org.eclipse.swt

Hopefully I'll resolve this soon and hopefully I was more use than Ramtin. I'll keep you posted.

This is a simple one. The classpath simply needs setting up to suit your environment.

classpath_carbon
classpath_carbon_j2me
classpath_gtk
classpath_gtk_j2me
classpath_motif
classpath_motif_j2me
classpath_photon
classpath_photon_j2me
classpath_win32
classpath_win32_j2me

Copy the relevant one to a file named .classpath

If you are using windows you may need to do it in the command prompt as windows does not allow the name .classpath - simply goto the folder where the .classpath files are and type "<i>rename .classpath_win32 .classpath</i>" and this will work fine.

Hope this helps.
