Error in exported product log [message #57329]

Hi!

This is x-posted from .equinox, in the hope that you guys might know more
:)

I'm seeing this error in the log of my exported product:

java.io.IOException: Unable to initialize osgi.frameworkClassPath
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.addBaseJars(Main.java:567)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.getDevPath(Main.java:466)

I solved it using the solution given here:

http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.rcp/m sg12468.html

It says:

- Copy the org.eclipse.osgi_vernum.jar from the
plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_vernum directory to the plugins directory
- Delete the org.eclipse.osgi_vernum directory
- Launch the application

So this has solved my problem, but I haven't figured out _why_ I need to
do this. Is there something I can do to prevent it on the Eclipse GUI
side, so it doesn't happen if I'm exporting to a new product?

Thanks!

Maurice

It is probably caused by having org.eclipse.osgi imported into your
workspace as a binary project.

Try doing the export after closing all such imported binary projects.
You don't need to have them in your workspace, it is enough that they
are in your target.

This would be a bug in the export, but the problem is that from the
shape of the project, build can't tell that this is a spoofed up bundle
created by the import and not the real binary bundle.

This was indeed the issue. It's working perfectly now - thanks for your
help!
