Unable to launch EPF Composer [message #47171]

I am new to Eclipse. I downloaded the Eclipse Process Framework Composer
and extracted it. I ran the application epf.exe. Only the blue eclipse
starting page was shown with copyright details, but nothing else appeared.
The task manager shows the epf composer is running, but I am not able to
see the application. I have not installed Eclipse IDE.

I have the following:
Windows XP with SP 2
j2sdk1.4.2_06
IE 6.0

What am I missing? Why is the application (epf composer) not opening to
show me any menu, or anything else? Do I need to do anything else? Do I
need to have the Eclipse IDE also? Will the epf composer run
independently of the IDE?

Thanks.

Which EPF did you download ? If you are using latest EPF build 1.2.0.1 you
need JRE 1.5.

Please follow the instructions given here

Hi,

I have changed my ant definition from a process execution:
<exec executable="${dir.epf.composer}/epf">

<arg line="-application org.eclipse.epf.publishing.cmdline.Publish" />

<arg line="-data ${dir.data}" />

<arg line="-nosplash" />

<arg line="-application org.eclipse.epf.publishing.cmdline.Publish" />

<arg line="-libraryPath ${dir.checkout}" />

<arg line="-publishPath ${dir.epf.publish}" />

<arg line="-config TE-RUP_Agile" />

<arg line="-feedback mailto:te.rup@tietoenator.com" />

<arg line="-glossary" />

<arg line="-index" />

<arg line="-publishUnverifiedDiagrams" />

<arg line="-title TE-RUP_Agile" />

<arg line="-vmargs -Xms64m -Xmx512m" />

</exec>

To java:
<java dir="${dir.epf.composer}"
jar=" ${dir.epf.composer}/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0 .0.v20070606.jar "
fork="true" maxmemory="512m" logError="true">

<arg line="-application org.eclipse.epf.publishing.cmdline.Publish" />

<arg line="-ws gtk" />

<arg line="-data ${dir.data}" />

<arg line="-nosplash" />

<arg line="-application org.eclipse.epf.publishing.cmdline.Publish" />

<arg line="-libraryPath ${dir.checkout}" />

<arg line="-publishPath ${dir.epf.publish}" />

<arg line="-config TE-RUP_Agile" />

<arg line="-feedback mailto:te.rup@tietoenator.com" />

<arg line="-glossary" />

<arg line="-index" />

<arg line="-publishUnverifiedDiagrams" />

<arg line="-title TE-RUP_Agile" />

<classpath>

<pathelement
location=" ${dir.epf.composer}/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0 .0.v20070606.jar "
/>

</classpath>

</java>

And now - big surprise - it works! All the pictures are in place. Actually,
the idea behind the change: I have noticed eclipse was refreshing workspace
every time it started; which sounded like problem with process; so I tried
to change it (bug in OS/Java?)...

Anyway, it works I have to move on...

However, I have found 2 picture issues (warning log + they are still missing
in the published config):
Warning: Guideline:req_gathering_techniques: missing resource file
'./../../../openup/guidances/guidelines/resources/Workshop.G IF'
Warning: RoleSet:openup_roles: missing resource file
'./../../openup/rolesets/./resources/OpenUp1_350.jpg'

Have you noticed same problem? I expect GIF or capital letters might be
problem (the references in source xmi?)

Regards,

Roman
