Hello,

I have seen and used several Galileo-based RCP applications, built using DeltaPack, which are packaged with launchers for several platforms (Linux, win, osx), and I can successfully use their application in command line using "java -jar org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar -application [app]" .
For a RCP build purpose, I would like to have a single Galileo base with DeltaPack that I could use to call org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner application on any platform. This is the same thing as what I am able to do with my previous RCP examples. However, I always get a NoClassDefFound (org/eclipse/swt/SWTError while loading AbstractUIPlugin) when trying to call this antRunner on any system except Linux. As far as I remember, the same trick was working with Ganymede.

How can I get the expected behaviour of a multi-platform Eclipse to invoke antRunner? I imagine it is related to p2 and/or target platform definition, but I may be totally wrong ;)

Thanks in advance
Mickael

Hi,

I would think if the org.eclipse.swt.* fragments for the system you care about are available then:

java -jar org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.300.v20090720.jar -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner ... would be enough.

You might try passing in -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 (for example) to see if that forces it to pick the correct fragments.

if that doesn't work, it might be as you surmised that the correct info needs to be in the bundles.info/p2 profile. You might have to ask in the Equinox or p2 forum (eclipse.technology.equinox, I'm not sure about p2).
