Eclipse：将插件导出为产品的正确方法是什么？

Question

I created an eclipse product based on a plugin.

from the product pane:

• left side, pressing "Launch an eclipse application" invokes a new eclipse platform that is only able to create an empty project or a project based on my plugin (no java project, etc...). OK that is what I want.

• right side: I've exported my product in a fresh empty directory. When I run my application from the command-line, I'm asked to open a new workspace and then, I only get an empty window .

what's the proper way to export my application ?

Answer 1

1. Check your product configuration: go to the "dependencies" tab and press the "Add Required" button.

2. If you would like to export your plugin (product) as a standalone application(just create a build) I would recommend you to take a look at the Tycho ( http://eclipse.org/tycho/ ). Tycho tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipseTycho/article.html .

Answer 2

The reason your export doesn't work is that you select org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench. When you generated your EMF code as RCP. (This is an option in the .genmodel under Editor->Rich Client Plarform) you should get an application for the RCP. When you select this application in your .product, all will be fine.
