Headless RCP App depend on Feature. Possible? [message #463068]

Hi!

Is it possible to make a headless RCP Application based on Features? (...to use the Eclipse update mechanism)

I tried to create a product configuration file that is based on features, but I got the following error:

<code>
!SESSION Mon Feb 05 17:04:50 EST 2007 ------------------------------------------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 2007-02-05 17:04:50.78
!MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform:
!STACK
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.getSplashLocation(Main.java:1 657)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.handleSplash(Main.java:1554)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:283)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:987)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:962)
</code>

Did I make a mistake or is it simply not possible to make a product out of a headless RCP app?

I thought perhaps it is not possible, because of all the missing UI stuff for branding.

Thank you in advance.
Peter

Try to start your application with option -nosplash

Peter,
That stack trace looks familiar, try looking at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=66421.

As Snjeza wrote, you can put that -nosplash in your product.ini file to turn off
the splash completely.

Thanks for the comments! Putting -nosplash into the launch argument section in the product configuration did the job.
