Why "Switch workspace" fail? [message #433390] Tue, 05 July 2005 07:22 Go to next message

I complete a rcp application based on eclipse 3.1. The subclass of
ActionBarAdvisor is similar to WorkbenchActionBuilder.
Everything is okey, but "Switch workspace" fail. The workspace is always the
first. I debug the OpenWorkspaceAction and find the command line includes
the new workspace path. Why does the workspace not change after restart?
Thanks!

I watched the eclipse sources, and especially org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide. IDEApplication and I modified my class which implements Runnable in order to let her know about the “EXIT_RELAUNCH” constant:
    
if (returnCode != PlatformUI.RETURN_RESTART)                return EXIT_OK;            
// if the exit code property has been set to the relaunch //code, then            
// return that code now, otherwise this is a normal restart                        
return EXIT_RELAUNCH.equals(Integer.getInteger(PROP_EXIT_CODE)) ? EXIT_RELAUNCH                    : EXIT_RESTART;


After that, the switch workspace action seems to lead to a simple stop of the application… :-/Then, I tried to debug Eclipse in order to know what was going on…And when I came to the org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main class, I could see that it seems that the setExitData() method needs a command line argument “-exitdata” and that if this one isn’t there, the program simply returns:

  
 private void setExitData() {        
String data = System.getProperty(PROP_EXITDATA);        
if (exitData == null || data == null)            
return;        
// sync call to the launcher       
runCommand(true, new String[] {EXITDATA, exitData, data}); //$NON-NLS-1$    }


So I have 2 questions:->Am I on the good way??->Does anybody know anything about this “exitdata” argument?

Thanks by advance!

Well, I tried something this morning: I launched an instance of Eclipse
from Eclipse itself to see if the switch workspace worked: it didn’t!!!
Same behavior as my application since I added references to
“EXIT_RELAUNCH” into my IplatformRunnable: it ended without launching any
new process….So I tried again to export my product and to use the “switch
workspace” and it worked!!!So, in conclusion, you need to add the
IDEActionFactory.OPEN_WORKSPACE action, and you have to modify your
IplatformRunnable implementing class this way:
    if (returnCode != 
PlatformUI.RETURN_RESTART)                return EXIT_OK;            // if 
the exit code property has been set to the relaunch code, then            
// return that code now, otherwise this is a normal restart                
        return EXIT_RELAUNCH.equals(Integer.getInteger(PROP_EXIT_CODE)) ? 
EXIT_RELAUNCH                    : EXIT_RESTART;
and it should work,
but not if you launch your product from Eclipse!
