Re: [equinox-dev] unable to find system bundle manifest file

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

How are you building and launching the
framework.  I would expect the built jar to have the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
file in it.  This file is in the org.eclipse.osgi project.  Make
sure the built version includes this file content from the project.

Subject	[equinox-dev] unable to find system bundle manifest file

Hi,
 
I have a beginner’s question.  I checked
out the org.eclipse.osgi project from the cvs repository.  It builds
without errors, but when I try to run it, I get the following:
 
org.osgi.framework.BundleException:
Unable to find system bundle manifest file.

As you can probably tell, I’m fairly unfamiliar
with this project, so I was hoping someone might be able to tell me what
causes this error.  
 
At first I thought the system bundle manifest
file is the org.eclipse.osgi/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file, but if that were
the case, I’m not sure why I’m getting this error.  One thing I
tried was to look at the contents of <eclipse install location>/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.1.1.jar,
since running the framework using this jar worked.  After extracting
the contents of this jar into a temporary folder, I noticed that there
is a ADAPTOR.MF file in the org/eclipse/core/runtime/adaptor folder.  Is
this the system bundle manifest file?  Where does it come from?
 
Thanks,
Arjun
