Hello,

I'm trying to create a stand-alone RCP application in the way proposed
in Pascal Rapicault's article "Exporting an RCP application". The
application works great when started from the PDE workbench. However,
when I start eclipse.exe (from R3.0 RCP), I get a RuntimeException
(see below). My plug-in is listed in the osgi.bundles and includes an
appropriate extension point:

<extension
id="CrmApplication"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications">
<application>
<run
class="de.cuc.crm.rcp.CrmApplication">
</run>
</application>
</extension>

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

-- Jan

Did you set the property "eclipse.application" to
"de.cuc.crm.rcp.CrmApplication". This means the extension point of type
"org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications" in the plugin "de.cuc.crm.rcp" with
the id "CrmApplication" will be started.

The error means that the Eclipse Platform could not find the application
class. A better solution could be to define a product extension point in the
plugin descriptor.

For example the Eclipse IDE is configured with
"eclipse.product=org.eclipse.platform.ide" this means in the plugin
"org.eclipse.platform" must be an extension point of type
"org.eclipse.core.runtime.products" with the id "ide". This extension point
defines the product to start. Below is the extension point from the plugin
"org.eclipse.platform"..

<extension id="ide" point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
<product name="%productName"
application="org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench" description="%productBlurb">
<property name="windowImages" value="eclipse.gif,eclipse32.gif"/>
<property name="aboutImage" value="eclipse_lg.gif"/>
<property name="aboutText" value="%productBlurb"/>
<property name="appName" value="Eclipse"/>
<property name="preferenceCustomization"
value="plugin_customization.ini"/>
</product>
</extension>

The defined product has as attributes the name and the application to start.
Here you can see that the application to start is in the plugin
"org.eclipse.ui.ide" and is defined as extension point with the id
"workbench". Below is the extension point from the "org.eclipse.ui.ide"
plugin.

<extension
id="workbench"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.applications">
<application>
<run
class="org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.IDEApplication">
</run>
</application>
</extension>

Greetings
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

thanks for the information, I'll consider this.

In the meantime - the reason for the error message was that I hadn't
included all the relevant plug-ins in osgi.bundles properly -
osgi.bundles seems to be an ordered list with dependencies. Under some
circumstances (namely a typo where I had an "\" in there but not ", \"
at the end of a line... poor me), the error message is a bit
inconclusive...

Thanks a lot for your suggestion - I'll try that as well, may be a
better approach.
