导出E4应用程序

Question

I have a feature based E4 application that I'd like to export as an executable project (.exe since I'm under windows).

I'm following the automated procedure called "Export Project Wizard" but despite I'm getting a .exe file + some JAR's in the same export folder, when I run it I get this error message: "org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectionException: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError com/test/test1"

com.test.test1 is an external plugin which I included in the depedency tab, and it seems that Eclipse won't find it.

How can I work it out? Should it not automatically export all the required plugins?

I also tried to export that plugin manually, as JAR, but it didn't work.

Thanks

Answer 1

Use 'Export > Plug-in Development > Eclipse product'. This will require you to specify the xxx.product file that was created when you created your e4 application.

You can also launch the same wizard from the xxx.product editor by clicking 'Use the Eclipse product export wizard'.

You must configure your xxx.product file to specify all the features that you are using - your own features and the standard Eclipse features (on the Dependencies tab). For example on my product I have:

my feature
org.eclipse.e4.rcp
org.eclipse.emf.common
org.eclipse.emf.ecore

the 3 Eclipse features are the minimum needed for an e4 application.

Your feature must list all your plugins in its feature.xml plus any dependencies that are not covered in any other feature. Every plugin you want to use must appear in one of the features.
