Re: [platform-core-dev] Fw: org.eclipse.core.runtime.products Extension
|
Scott,
Use <property> instead of <parameter>.
Also, as Jeff mentioned, appName is not the displayed name of the product.
That is obtained from the name attribute of the <product> element. The
generic workbench does not show this automatically in the title -- the
advisor has full control over this, and can get the value from
Platform.getProduct().getName() if it wishes. I was considering whether
this should be the default though. If you think so, please file an
enhancement request against Platform-UI.
See org.eclipse.ui.branding.IProductConstants.APP_NAME for the spec for
appName. Essentially it's a prefix used in the .XDefaults files on
X-based windowing systems, to refer to an app's widgets, e.g. for
overriding fonts and colours. I've just clarified this in the Javadoc.
For the image properties, the URL currently needs to be fully resolved,
not a relative path, e.g. try
value="platform:/base/plugins/com.ibm.jdg2e.mini.configurator/icons/miniwp.gif".
We want to fix this for RC2 though. See
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=64772

Re: [platform-core-dev] Fw: org.eclipse.core.runtime.products Extension
The PDE complains about parameter not being a legal child element of
product. Is this a PDE bug or a bug in the schema?
I ran with the parameter, as shown in the document example and icon and
the application name string didn't show in the UI. Is this a UI bug?
<extension
id="com.ibm.jdg2e.mini.configurator.product"
name="JDG2E Dynamic Plug-in Configurator"
point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
<product
description="JDG2E Dynamic Plug-in Configurator"
name="JDG2E Dynamic Application"
application="com.ibm.jdg2e.mini.configurator.product1">
<parameter
value="icons/miniwp.gif"
name="windowImage"/>
<parameter
value="The Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse - Dynamic
Application"
name="appName"/>
</product>
</extension>
