2.2 source using extension points that can't be found [message #213457]

When I try to build the latest 2.2 Source head I cannot get the
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine plugin to build.

The problem is the plugin.xml uses extension points

"org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications"
"org.eclipse.core.runtime.products"

which aren't resolving for me.

My setup is as follows, I'm using JRE 1.5 and as my target I'm using the
build

birt-report-designer-all-in-one-2.2.0-N20070110.zip

In my target and I just turn off the BIRT specific plug-ins (so I can
run from BIRT source). The BIRT source is from the BIRT HEAD and matches
the set of BIRT plugins that are in the zip file.

any ideas?

Mike,

I just downloaded from head using the 2.2M4 allinone and all I had to do was
add itext 1.4.6 to the lowagie plugin,
and add references to ant.jar and dom4j-1.6.1.jar in the
org.eclipse.birt.build project.
I still have an issue building the viewer, but the designer builds.

Hi Jason, I found a bit of answer to my questions it seems (I'm quoting
another response I found) "The applications and products extension
points were moved in Eclipse 3.3 to the org.eclipse.equinox.app plugin.
The names of the extension points are not changed, so client plugins
should not be affected. You do of course need to have the new plugin as
part of your target platform. If you have further problems with this, I
suggest entering a bug report against Eclipse > Equinox > Framework.
This change was believed to be fully backwards compatible, and they'd be
keen to hear if this is not the case. "

so with that in mind it seems that if were going to have these extension
points then there is a Dependency on equinox.

As it turns out the problem with the unfound extension points was a bug
in eclipse. So my development environment wasn't resolving them
correctly. Updating my development environment to 3.3 fixed this
particular problem. Talk about a goose chase, sorry for any confusion.
