Hi all, I'm having trouble getting my Standalone Eclipse help to run from anywhere other than the server on which it was created.

Ideally we want to put it on a fileserver - just for the review by a few colleagues. We are reviewing the full functionality, and so it needs to be the standalone help. Unfortunately, once copied to a network drive, it refuses to run. It also refuses to run wherever it is copied such as to people's local disks. We get the following error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter


Since I posted this on eclipse_tw list, I've discovered that it is perfectly OK to unzip a new install of Eclipse to a fileserver and place our documentation plug-in inside it. Why is that different to when I copy the files for our minimal set of plug-ins?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Best regards,
Richard

My guess is that you are not copying all of the files needed to start standalone help. This class comes from org.eclipse.osgi.

Hi Chris.

I found that by downloading and extracting a full install, copying in my doc plugin and using my start and stop scripts I could get the help to work.

I then used this working install to copy parts (including at one point all the plugins) in and out of my cutdown standalone help install. I didn't have any joy until I copied the following folder from the configuration folder:

org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator

This contains a file called bundles.info which lists the plugins.

Once this file is in place, my standalone help worked.

The question is, do I need to remove lines from this as I remove plugins to make my minimal set?

Richard

As far as I know you don't need to remove any lines from that file.
