Description Andrew Niefer CLA 2008-02-14 17:16:01 EST
when I export a deployable feature and create JNLP
manifests, the JNLP manifests that are created for each feature I list are not
valid. They create the following XML element in the JNLP file:

        <information>
                <offline-allowed/>
        </information>

But this is not valid, and will cause the Web Start loader to fail with an
error when the root JNLP file is called. The 'information' element should
contain at least 'title', 'vendor', 'homepage', etc. elements, like this:

  <information>
    <title>My App</title>
    <vendor>My Company</vendor>
    <homepage href="http://www.mycompany.com"/>
    <description>Do Stuff</description>
    <icon kind="splash" href="http://pathtomyimage.gif"/>
    <offline-allowed/>
  </information>

I'm having the same kind of issue with Eclipse 3.5. The title seems to get generated but no vendor (required by web start) and other information tags.

Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
