Hello,

According to most references I found (e.g. http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/Eclipse4MigrationGuide/article.html), a soft migration from Eclipse RCP 3 to 4 should be possible merely by adapting my target platform and the product file.

In this case, the application, wholly based on the Eclipse 3 API, should work with the Eclipse 4 engine.

However, when trying to do this, I ran into a lot of Unresolved requirement issues. I already worked around all the missing javax.annotation and javax.inject by importing these packages in almost all my plugins, but three of these requirement issues remain:

1) org.eclipse.ui.workbench (...) Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: org.eclipse.e4.core.commands
2) javax.servlet.jsp (...) Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: javax.el; version="2.2.0"
3) and various p2 plugins complaining about Unresolved requirement: Require-Bundle: org.tukaani.xz; bundle-version="1.3.0"

I do not understand : those three requirement (org.eclipse.e4.core.commands, javax.el (2.2.0) and org.tukaani.xz (1.3.0) are all part of the target platform and the product definition...

Where else should I put them ? Or more generally, what am I doing wrong ... ?

Thanks a lot for any hints !

The dependencies have changed dramatically with 4.x. You'll need to either include the the org.eclipse.rcp feature or review its contents and adjust your product/features.

Hello,

This is exactly what I did: I used the features org.eclipse.rcp (4.5.1.v20150904-0015) and org.eclipse.e4.rcp (1.4.0.v20150903-1804) features from the Mars release in my product file, with the result as described.

Are you seeing these problems when launching from within Eclipse? Or from a built product (and built how?)?

See the Where Is My Bundle? page for some hints on diagnosing bundle resolving problems using the OSGi Console.

Hmm I found something interesting. So first of all, to answer your question, I was launching from withing Eclipse.

When inspecting carefully the logs (attached for reference), it turns out that org.eclipse.core.resources.ResourcesPlugin could not start because of a org.eclipse.core.internal.dtree.ObjectNotFoundException.
Googling this error shows that this has something to do with corrupt workspace settings.

And yes indeed, starting my RCP in compatibility mode while picking another workspace works ! (I do have a problem that my CommonNavigator remains blank, but that one I still have to investigate).

But I do find it odd that my "old", Indigo-driven, application has no problem with this particular set of settings and starts totally normally, whereas starting in compatibility mode leads Eclipse to crash.

Anyhow, thanks a lot for the quick answer, I can now progress.
