Feature Self-Hosting Problem [message #282738] Fri, 18 March 2005 10:27 Go to next message

Hi all,

I am developing a feature on Eclipse 3.0.1, and attempting to launch my
run-time workbench with the "Use features in the workspace (simulated normal
startup)" option.

I've followed the instructions on the "PDE Tips and Tricks" page in the
Help, and my workspace/work area seems to be set up as it instructs.
However, when I try to launch, I get an error, with this log entry:

!MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform:
!STACK
java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not find framework
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.getBootPath(Main.java:395)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:174)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:704)
at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:688)


I have no trouble with launching from plug-ins, and I can build the features
& plug-ins and use the install/update manager to install those
features/plug-ins properly, so I'm thinking something still isn't right with
my workspace/work-area setup, but I can't see what it could be.

Also, I cannot use a drop later than 3.0.1 for this feature, so if there are
easier ways to do feature self-hosting in recent milestones, it won't help
me.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The setup hasn't changed since 2.x, so you must have missed a step
somewhere.
Things to look for:
- start eclipse with -data pointing to the plugins folder
- import all the eclipse plugins as binary (not linked)
- import all features
- make sure the launch configuration has the feature-based self hosting
selected
