Unable to find element: rcp.product

[Peter P]

Hello.

I'm just trying your plugin. When following all your steps in the documentation and trying to build a RCP application, by defining the product id, I get the following exception:

It seems like it looking for rcp.product as a default, although I changed the product name on the RCP tab in the Buil-Config editor.

Any help would be appreciated.

Peter

PS.: I'm using Eclispe 3.3RC1 and SVN

Hi Peter!

There seems to be a bug in the RCP tab of the editor. Please check the build-files/build.properties directly. The Editor should write the properties configs, product and archiveNamePrefix to this file.

I guess the documentation does not say much about building RCP applications. If you got that far, you have probably already found out that you will need the RCP Delta-Pack if you want to build different platforms.

There is a working example at https://mbarchfe.dnsalias.org/bma/svnroot/rcpsample/trunk/org.pluginbuilder.rcpsample.build which might be of further help for you.

Thanks for that quick response. I changed the build.properties manually and it did a bit more now. But then I got the following exception:

C:\Programme\eclipse3.3RC1\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.3.0.v20070517\scripts\productBuild\productBuild.xml:51: Unable to find plug-in: my.rcp.sample. Please check the error log for more details.

What do I have to do here?

Peter

[Markus Barchfeld]

Hi Peter!

I could think of two reasons for the "missing plugin" problems:
1) The plugin was not copied. Please check the ${buildDirectory}/plugins directory. If it is not found, your map files (CVS, copy) or subversion fetch file might be invalid.
2) The plugin has another version than the request one. Not that 0.0.0 is a special version which matches the version of the plugin checked out to ${buildDirectory}/plugins

You can also contact me via Skype case of further problems.

Sorry forgot to mention another log output:

In the Eclipse console it says:

Bundle at.mic.j2ee.prototype:
     [java] [eclipse.generateFeature]     Missing required plug-in at.mic.j2ee.ui_0.0.0.
     [java] [eclipse.generateFeature]     Missing required plug-in javax.persistence_0.0.0.

What to do here?

Thank you very much.

Hi Markus.

I checked the option "Copy from Workspace" instead of using our svn repository.

What is your skype account? Mine is "pfeiferpeter", from Linz, Austria.

Thanks in advance.

Peter
