Helios RPC problem with p2 self-update [message #552968] Sun, 15 August 2010 12:01 Go to next message

Hi,
I'm new to RPC, and just finished some tutorials, turned to self-update feature concept. To learn it, I picked up this tutorial:
http://swtxml.com/blog/eclipsercp/p2_updates_tutorial/

Up to the 10th step, everything is ok. I exported the application as of th 10th step and run with no problem.

Next I added the "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.user.ui" to my included features as instructed. I've got the following error. Also, no menu item is added in the help menu for update checking and new software install.

If I export the application after adding p2.ui I get this error and exporting fails:

For around 2 days I added various boundles to solve this, but no results. I searched forums and googled and found people with the same problem, but failed to find any solution.

Please kindly guide me out of it.

I am suffering from exactly the same problem and have spent several days trying different things and searching Google.

I have downloaded a fresh install of eclipse from eclipse.org : eclipse-rcp-helios-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

With a clean install and a new workspace, I get the following :-

I really can't see what I am doing wrong. Can you enlighten me at all please?

TIA

I'm making progress! Smile

Some have reported success by adding org.eclipse.compare as a dependency of the com.example.mail plugin.

I tried this and refreshed the active plugins in the launch configuration and it works!
Once I did this and a synchronisation of the product and it exports successfully!

I am pretty sure I had already tried this with my real application with no joy so YMMV.

This is getting annoying now.

The same trick does not work for my real application - I end up in dependency hell with the thing seeming to require just about everything (right down to org.eclipse.ide, before I gave up) to be explicitly packaged with my main plugin.

The mail demo (no changes since last export) now moans about not being able to resolve org.eclipse.editors.ui.

Any ideas what is going on here?

I would try the eclipse.technology.equinox newsgroup/forum. I guess
what you're trying to do is to take a simple RCP app and add p2 updating
(including the Add New Software menu items and UI)?

Thanks for the response. You have it exactly right.

The problem was tracked down to the fact that org.eclipse.equinox.p2.user.ui depends on org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.sdk which in turn depends on org.eclipse.compare which pulls in a lot of the IDE UI.

The compare dependency is to deal with the ability to roll-back to a previous configuration / installed plug-in set.

I can't find where it was mentioned, but apparently there are plans for a simplified package for a future release that will do p2 updates in the light-weight 'drop-in' fashion that is implied by the various tutorials about the subject.

As it is, my project is just for an internal group of bright peeps who can handle a bit of UI cruft, so it doesn't really cause us a problem now that I know what is going on.
