Hi I am developing an RCP application with Eclipse 3.0 and I am having
trouble with the branding. I have added the following to my plugin.xml
file to change some things like icons/about text... however it does nothing
<extension id="myproduct" point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
<product name="My RPC Application"
application="com.steve.RcpApplication">
<property name="appName" value="My RPC Application"/>
<property name="windowImages" value="icons/product.gif"/>
<property name="aboutText" value="About My RPC Application"/>
<property name="aboutImage" value="icons/product.gif"/>
</product>
</extension>
where "com.steve.RcpApplication" implements IPlatformRunnable. can anybody
point me in the right direction please. I am developing it as an plugin
and not a feature but it shouldnt matter if I add to the
"org.eclipse.core.runtime.products" extension, right? Cheers for any help.
Steve

Did you run eclipse with either -Declipse.product=<pluginid>.myproduct
or set eclipse.product in the configuration/config.ini file?

The osgi.splashPath does not work in selfhost (because Main which does
not know a lot, only looks for the plugins in the plugin folder).
It could be good if you opened a bug report against platform runtime.
