No Products Available in Launcher To Launch a Product [message #326147] Sat, 08 March 2008 17:15 Go to next message

Hi,

I have a relatively new Eclipse Classic 3.3 with Subclipse, CDT, and PyDev
installed on Linux. I am getting several projects for RCP apps from a
3rd-party Subversion. In the launcher configuration on the Main tab where
it says "Run a product", the only two available products are
org.eclipse.platform.ide and org.eclipse.sdk.ide. Normally, all the
products in the workspace are there.

They do not appear when I use "Launch an Eclipse Application" from the
Product Editor, Overview tab on any of the products. It uses the runtime
workbench instead (org.eclipse.platform.ide).

This is not an Eclipse problem as I have another workspace using the same
Eclipse that does show all the installed products (but they are different
products).

It is not a problem with the 3rd-party software as I have that running on
Windows, where there is no such problem. It is a moderately large project,
written by people who know what they are doing.

I've tried -clean.

So the question is how do I get Eclipse to recognize the .product files and
make them available in the launcher.

Thanks,

-Ken

Does the plugin.xml that your product is in have an entry for the
product? ie.,

<extension
id="product"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
<product
application="abc.application"
name="abc">
<property
name="appName"
value="abc">
</property>
</product>
</extension>

If you go to the overview page of your product configuration, there
should be an option to 'Synchronize.' This should ensure that you have a
proper extension to org.eclipse.core.runtime.products in your plug-in.
The only way I can see things not appear in the launch configuration is
if the org.eclipse.core.runtime products extension was bad...

By the way, I had a big kick out of your microsoft.com address, I hope
you don't mind ;)

Chris,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, the id="product" entry is there. (It works on
Windows.) Moreover, other products work in another Workspace so it isn't
org.eclipse.core.runtime products.

I didn't know what you meant by my microsoft.com address, but I now see it
is my return address. I think that was filled in by Outlook. (It sure
isn't keeping me from getting junk email ;-)
