[SOLVED] Update site for platform specific plugins [message #1706392]

Hello,

I am building an Eclipse RCP4 Application and want to deploy it to Linux, Mac and Windows. If I understand correctly I need the SWT features for each of these platforms (e.g. org.eclipse.gtk.linux.x86_64 for Linux). I would like to add those to my target platform, but was unable to find any update site that offers them.

Can anyone point me to said update site?

Regards,

Hi Alex,
SWT jar come default with eclipse download, so for Windows64 build you can find it at below location:
<eclipse>\plugins\org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64_<version>.jar

4.5 SWT builds for other platforms, can be download from below page:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.5-201506032000/#SWT

I already found the location to download SWT-jars by hand--that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a p2 repository or update site, that can be added to a target definition.

Actually no such update-site exist SWT, reason being it's not a feature in Eclipse.

I actually found an update site that _contains_ the plugins I needed. It is the standard(I think) update site for eclipse. In my case this one: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.4

When adding the software site to my target definition I had to make sure to uncheck "Include required Software" and to check "Include all environments". I then added the following plugins (I don't know which of them really includes the swt plugins, but one of them does):

- Eclipse JDT Plug-In Developer Resources
- Eclipse Platform Launcher Executables
- Eclipse RCP
- Eclipse RCP SDK
- Equinox p2, Provisioning for IDEs
