Eclipse RCP - Tutorial (Eclipse 3.5)

[George Elledge]

Dear Lars,

I am working through your excellent tutorial (http://www.vogella.de/articles/RichClientPlatform/article.html
) and have come unstuck at Section 15 - Products and Branding.

I have created the project - de.vogella.rcp.intro.deploy - and
completed all of the tasks but when I go to launch it I get the
following error reported:

!SESSION Mon Oct 26 11:13:18 GMT+00:08 2009
------------------------------------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.launcher 4 0 2009-10-26 11:13:19.009

I am running Galileo 3.5 on both Mac OS X 10.6. and Windows XP. I get
the message in both environments.

Do you have any suggestions.

Many thanks,

Kindest regards,

George ELLEDGE.

Hi,

the other examples run without problems? Can you try to create a
product for another other example? Best regards, Lars

Hi,

did you do as described?

Select Windows -> Preferences Open Web -> JavaServer Faces Tools and
select libraries. Press new, give it the name "Apache MyFaces" and add
the libraries myfaces-api.jar and myfaces-impl.jar to it.

Best regards, Lars

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. I have tried to create a product with
several of the other applications and I still get the same message.
Thanks and regards,
George.

Hi George,

I tried and it works for me. Did you get the error during startup if
you start directly from Eclipse or if you export the product? Did you
press the "synchronize" link on the product?

Best regards, Lars

Thanks Lars.
Yes, I did synchronise.
I've got to go away for few days but when I'm back I take a good look
at my Eclipse setup to see if I can track down EclipseStarter.
I'll keep you posted.
Kindest regards,
George

Dear Lars,
Happy to say I have solved my problem which was due to carelessness.
Having selected the dependency I forgot to press "Add Required
Plugins" an Save. Once I did that everything workrd.
Sorry to have troubled you.
Kindest regards,
George.
