Hi:

I am looking for a way to be able to launch an Eclipse 3.0 runtime
workbench from an Eclipse 2.1 based IDE.

From my Eclipse 2.1 based IDE I have done the following.

1) Under the Java > Installed JREs preference page I added a 1.4.1 JRE
and checked the check box next to it to make it the default JRE used by
my IDE.
2) Under the Plug-In Development > Target Platform preference page I
specified the directory containing the Eclipse 3.0 plug-ins.
3) In my workbench I have one plug-in that extends the View extension
point, one plug-in that extends the Perspective extension point, and one
plug-in that extends the application extension point.
4) I then created an Instance of the Run-time Workbench specifying the
1.4.1 JRE as the JRE to use. I also passed the -application
<Application Id>, the -configuration <directory to hold the osgi
artifacts>, and the -console Program Arguments.

I then run click Run. It starts the osgi console and then terminates.
In the log file I get the following message:

"java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to locate the application extension:
TestApplication"

The problem is that it doesn't seem to be loading the plug-ins that are
in my IDE workspace. How can I get the Runtime Workbench to recognize
the plug-ins that are in my workspace?

You can't. They've changed configuration files such that it is not
compatible. You need to use the same Eclipse 3.0 driver as the driver
being targeted. That is the only way that is supported.
