Export e(fx)clipse Tutorial 2 plug-in [message #1422025]

Hi e(fx)clipse developers,

I'm new to e(fx)clipse and also to Eclipse Plugin Development. I started plugin development for eclipse with the tutorial of Lars Vogel (Extending the Eclipse IDE - Plug-in development - Tutorial). I've sucessfully exported the Hello World command plugin and imported it in e(fx)clipse using the "dropins"-directory way. Everything works well so far.

Now I've tried the same with the plugin from the e(fx)clipse Tutorial 2 https://wiki.eclipse.org/Efxclipse/Tutorials/Tutorial2. But unfortunately, the exported plugin is not installed in e(fx)clipse after putting it into the "dropins"-directory.

Do you have an idea, how I can export the JavaFX plugin and install it in e(fx)clipse again?

Thanks for your help!

Johann

A very wild guess is that the bundle does not resolve because the
org.eclipse.fx.ui.workbench3 is not inside the IDE runtime!

You can check that by opening the "console view" and select in the views
toolbar on the right in the drop down "Host OSGi Console" which will
give you a command prompt like: osgi>

There you can enter:

ss MyFXViewPart

(i assume that you named the bundle MyFXViewPart else use the name you used)

This will give you something like this:

752 INSTALLED MyFXViewPart

if you now want to know why the bundle did not moved from INSTALLED into
RESOLVED you can do:

diag 752

(please use the bundle id given to you by ss command above!)

Hi Tom,

thanks for your reply. When I listed all plugins using the osgi "ss"-command in Eclipse, my plug-in wasn't there. So I tried to install it using the osgi console, and indeed I got the error: Unresolved requirement: Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.fx.ui.workbench3.

In the tutorial the VM launch command -Dosgi.framework.extensions=org.eclipse.fx.osgi
was probably responsible for loading that bundle. But when I start my Eclipse VM with this parameter, the bundle is not installed.

How can install the required bundles in my e(fx)clipse else?

Thank you

Johann

No it is not - the worbench3 bundle is part of the target platform so it
is found when launching an inner eclipse!

With inner eclipse you mean when I use "Run As -> Eclipse Application". Well, in the fresh opened Eclipse the plug-in works fine. But how can I use the plug-in in my existing e(fx)clipse development evironment or how can I make the plug-in available for other e(fx)clipse insallations?

Learn how to create features, a headless (tycho) build and produce an
update-site.
