Ask for help: Have trouble setting the target platform on Eclipse RCP IDE about org.eclipse.linuxtools

[akurtakov]

I'll push a patch shortly that should fix the target platform. It's a step missed in the release process.

Please try now with linuxtools-e4.28 target

Hi @akurtakov , thank you for the reply. The new target works well, but I have a new problem.

Now it launches correctly as an eclipse application, but when I create a C project and finish building, I can't find the Profile Tools menu entry in the Project Explorer's context menu. I don't think this has much to do with some prompts popping up when launching as follow.

In the Run Configuration page, if I set the "Launch with:" option in the plug-ins tab, there seems no linuxtools related targets.

Besides, it seems that some configuration files inside some sub-project also have some error hints.

Are there some details I'm missing?

If you're building Linux Tools from source you either have to install it into your running eclipse or launch a child eclipse from it to be able to use Linux Tools functionality.

I probably have found a glitch in the gcov module, so I attempt to modify the source then build it. The child eclipse on the right part of the figure is what I got by clicking the "Run As" button in the development environment on the left. But the functionality is still not found.

Besides, what do you mean by "installing it into your running eclipse" ? You mean, download the linux tools plugin from the eclipse marketplace, and then modify by importing it as source project?

[akurtakov]

Ignore the "installing into your running eclipse" part, I think I understand your question now. On the Run configuration page does it report any issue when clicking "Validate Plug-ins" button?

[baoruiqi]

Hi, sorry for the delay. I just backed home from work and reconfigured the environment on the computer at home, same result.

The validation results show the missing of some constraint which related to com.google.gson. However, I don't think that just missing this one dependency will make the whole function unavailable.

I have modified the code by installing the plugin from Marketplace and importing as a source project. I hope to run the test on the environment you recommend and commit a pull request later.

Thanks again for your patience.

I open launch config tab and choose "Plugins selected below" instead of the default "All workspace and enabled target plugins", then I find two items related to the reported issue, one version of which obviously doesn't satisfy the requirement of [2.9.1, 2.10.0). So I uncheck this item, after that the validation comes with no issue. However, the child eclipse still has no functionality of profiling.
