Re: [platform-core-dev] Fw: org.eclipse.core.runtime.products Extension

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe the example is actually correct.
 (what are you thinking is wrong?).  The existance, semantics
and handling of the <parameters> is defined by people consuming IProducts.
 In this case, the UI defines some params (see IProductBrandingConstants)
as does the Runtime (not sure where the constants are).

Note that the appName is not the Runtime's
application, it is a value used by the UI on Motif and the like to get
UI specific settings.  -application or eclipse.application (or the
application attribute of the <product> tag) are the way you control
the application that gets run.  

I suggest a bug report or query in UI
land...

Subject	[platform-core-dev] Fw: org.eclipse.core.runtime.products Extension

I see that the DDT in the doc corresponds to the PDE schema.... it's the
example that is wrong.   
Examples: Following is an example of static product declaration: 

   <extension id="coolProduct" point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
      <product name="%coolName" application="coolApplication"
description="%coolDescription"> 
          <parameter name="windowImage"
value="window.gif"/> 
          <parameter name="aboutImage"
value="image.gif"/> 
          <parameter name="featureImage"
value="feature.gif"/> 
          <parameter name="aboutText"
value="%aboutText"/> 
          <parameter name="appName"
value="CoolApp"/> 
          <parameter name="welcomePage"
value="$nl$/welcome.xml"/> 
      </product> 
   </extension> 


I was expecting that by specifying the windowImage and appName values that
the (RCP) application witndow would show without having to set the shell
image and title  programatically in the WorkbenchAdvisor.  For
some reason that is not happening, what am I missing?
