    • Seems like a bad install

      By Paul Fiore 1 decade ago

      Hello,

      It seems like the issues you're describing are from a bad install.

      You should not be taking the plugins from osgi/rcp/eclipse/plugins as they are back level versions.

      The minimum required set of plug-ins for osgi-dots\rcp\eclipse\plugins is comprised of the following list:
      ─ org.eclipse.core.contenttype
      ─ org.eclipse.core.jobs
      ─ org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.auth
      ─ org.eclipse.core.runtime
      ─ org.eclipse.equinox.app
      ─ org.eclipse.equinox.common
      ─ org.eclipse.equinox.preferences
      ─ org.eclipse.equinox.registry
      ─ org.eclipse.osgi
      ─ org.eclipse.update.configurator

      and should be taken from an Eclipse install of 3.6.2+

      I suggest trying to setup DOTS again cleanly using the plugins as suggested above.  If that does not work then please send along a zipped up copy of you osgi-dots\rcp directory.

      Regards,

      Paul

      Thanks for the help.  I'm up and running.  I used libraries (.jar files) from eclipse Juno (I believe I'd copied them from osgi/rcp/eclipse/plugins in my first - unsuccessful - attempt).
