[news.eclipse.platform.ua] Minimal standalone help system

[Andreas Ekstrand <ekstrand.andreas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I tried installing a minimal stand-alone help system according to the Eclipse help (http://help.eclipse.org/stable/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/ua_help_setup_standalone.htm) with no luck. I tried from both the Eclipse Classic 3.5.0 for Windows download and the Eclipse for RCP/Plug-in Developers for Windows download.

First, export can't be done to the <location1>/eclipse folder, don't know why but nothing gets written. I tried directly to <location1> and moving the resulting folders and files into the <location1>/eclipse folder and got a bit further.

Second, I got the following message when starting with the recommended "java -classpath ..." command: "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library." After searching the web, I found that the Equinox launcher doesn't seem to be included so that has to be copied manually. Okay, so I copied the equinox launcher jar file and folder.

Now I got the following error in a log: "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter". Can't find a solution to that one.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Has anyone succeeded in this? How should I get it to work?

Regards,
Andreas Ekstrand
