Hi,

I have been using "self hosting" e4. I tried to get an RCP app to run,
however i get this error:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2010-04-18 14:17:16.910
!MESSAGE Application error
!STACK 1
org.eclipse.core.runtime.AssertionFailedException: null
argument:applicationXMI argument missing

org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.internal.E4Application.loadA pplicationModel(E4Application.java:185)

org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt.internal.E4Application.creat eE4Workbench(E4Application.java:129)

at
org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault (Realm.java:332)
at
org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Work bench.java:518)

Are RCP apps supposed to run out of the box or do I always need the
application XMI?

Regards,

Wim Jongman

You currently need at least a minimal Application XMI which holds a Window.

One more thing which is probably important:
a) You want to write a native e4-RCP-Application
b) You want to write a RCP-Application using the compat layer

You don't need a Application XMI in case of b) but then you need to
launch the correct product (I've asked a question on e4-dev just today
asking how to run an inner instance on the compat-layer).
