Question

I just exported a product that is working nicely if I hit the \"Launch an Eclipse application\" button. If try to execute the exported product, I get following exception on

Answer 1

I went to my run configurations and hit Add Required Plug-Ins one the Plug-Ins page. Made the problem go away.

Answer 2

Added missing javax.xml dependency to the product configuration file:

<plugin id="com.ibm.icu"/>
<plugin id="javax.annotation"/>
<plugin id="javax.inject"/>
+<plugin id="javax.xml"/>
<plugin id="org.apache.batik.css"/>
<plugin id="org.apache.batik.util"/>
<plugin id="org.apache.batik.util.gui"/>

Answer 3

I had the same problem. With E4 tooling the following steps worked for me. Open .product file and go to Dependencies tab. Then press Add Required Plug-ins. Then go to Overview and press Launch an Eclipse application. Also you should do Help->Check for updates

Answer 4

Review the Dependencies tab, and remove the extra plug-ins are are showing un-resolved in the Plug-ins and Fragments.

Answer 5

Normally, I would look for the following:

• you are not exporting the exact same set of plug-ins in your product configuration as used in the launch configuration. There are no tools available for the compare.
• you have a custom config.ini file that does not define the proper application for the product.

Answer 6

I had a similar exception while launching my project. In my case, the reason was JRE version - I've set JRE 1.7 instead of 1.6 in debug configuration, and things started to work. I believe the same thing can happen, if the project was configured for OpenJDK 1.6, and the debug launches it with sun-JDK 1.6.
