Re: [platform-swt-dev] Fw: [platform-dev] 'eclipse -ws xyz' does not work for 3.0 M7


Enter a problem report.  This is not SWT but someone can find out about it.

Sorry for forwarding this question here, but the platform-dev@ list seems
dead.
No one from OTI seems to monitor platform-dev@.
If you feel there is a more appropriate place to post this question, please,
tell me.

Regards,
Ivan

Hello,

I'm the maintainer of the SWT-on-Fox port (http://swtfox.sf.net).

I have the following problem with the recent Eclipse 3.0 milestone releases
(I suspect the problem has appeared since the switch to OSGi, but I may be
wrong):

In Eclipse 2.X.Y, it was possible to manually specify on the command line
the particular SWT windowing system to be used by Eclipse, by invoking
eclipse like this:

'eclipse -ws xyz'.

If there was a SWT fragment installed, which had directory 'ws/xyz', Eclipse
used to pick this fragment, instead of the default one for the platform
(GTK+, Motif, etc.).

This, however, no longer works for Eclipse 3.0 milestones. It seems, now
Eclipse randomly picks some of the installed SWT fragments, sometimes it is
the GTK+ fragment, sometimes it is mine (Fox).

Since my SWT port is a third party one, packaged as Eclipse update, it is
crucial users to be able to automatically download my port using the Eclipse
Update Manager (which works) and then restart Eclipse with the command line
swich I described, in order my SWT port to be used instead of the default
one for the platform.


Are there any plans to fix this problem and should I enter a bugzilla report
against eclipse-platform?

Regards,
Ivan Markov

P.S. Sorry, I was unable to further track down the problem, as the
startup/runtime code is complex enough and it would take me too much time.
