[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Equinox Transforms

Hi,

1.

I tried running the xslt example plugin from my eclipse. I get the following 
exception when i used the launch file inside the xslt plugin.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter

at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)

I created my own transforms and used it in my application plugin to filter 
some extensions. I added a startup handler exception to check whether the 
transforms are applied or not. Whenever i start the app, the startup handler 
extension will be removed and i should be able to see the application. But 
whatever way i try to launch, the transform doesnt get applied and the 
startup handler gets invoked.

How do i run the transforms based application from inside eclipse. I have 
osgi.framework.extensions attribute set in my run configurations.

When i export the application as a product, the transformations get applied 
and the startup handler is removed from the extensions.

3. So i am exporting the product everytime i make changes to my code and 
testing it. The next problem is I do a login when i start the application. 
The Login Dialog uses jface classes for the UI. I do the login check  before 
i do the transforms. I get ClassNotFoundException for all the jface classes 
from inside the transforms fragment. Is it possible to use any eclipse 
plugin classes  before i do the transforms.

PS: I used the sample from Bredex authorization and extending it to my 
needs.

Am i doing things on the right direction. Any suggestions?

Kathir.
