[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: My RCP app wont run witnout -ws gtk

[Alex Blewitt <alex_blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

The suggested workaround is to run it with the -ws gtk parameter. Alternatively, install Motif, which is the default windowing system on the Linux launcher AFAIK. You can supply the windowing system parameters via JNLP too, as described in the help:

http://help.eclipse.org/help32/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/java_web_start.htm

[xml]
  <resources os="Linux">
        <property name="osgi.ws" value="gtk"/>
  </resources>
[/xml]

Note that the help pages have an error -- there shouldn't be a / after "Linux" in the help. The above example is correct.
