I am trying to deploy an RCP application via Java WebStart.  I followed the
instructions in the "Deploying eclipse based application with Java Web Start"
item in the help system EXACTLY.  However, when I try to start the .jnlp nothing
happens.
I found this in the .log file in the configuration folder on the client...

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)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
    at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
    at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:331)
    at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:278)
    at org.eclipse.core.launcher.WebStartMain.basicRun(WebStartMain.java:50)
    at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:973)
    at org.eclipse.core.launcher.WebStartMain.main(WebStartMain.java:35)
 

---------------------

Turns out that the problem is that org.eclipse.core.launcher.WebStartMain does
not correctly find the framework bundle.
I discovered this by including -debug as an argument to WebStartMain and trapped
the output in the JWS console (no easy task ;-().  The following lines appeared
in the JWS console...

Framework located:
    file:/C:/Documents and Settings/ted stockwell/Application
Data/Sun/Java/Deployment/cache/javaws/file/D/P-1/DMC&c/DMtemp/DMcontrolexample/DMplugins/RMorg.eclipse.osgi.services_3.1.0.jar
Framework classpath:
    file:/C:/Documents and Settings/ted stockwell/Application
Data/Sun/Java/Deployment/cache/javaws/file/D/P-1/DMC&c/DMtemp/DMcontrolexample/DMplugins/RMorg.eclipse.osgi.services_3.1.0.jar


-------------------

I believe the problem is that I have included the org.eclipse.osgi.services
bundle in my 'wrapping' feature and that causes
org.eclipse.core.launcher.WebStartMain to miscalculate the framework bundle.

I think the problem is in the WebStartMain.searchFor method...

protected String searchFor(final String target, String start) {
       //The searching can be improved 
	String[] jars = getAllJars();
	ArrayList selected = new ArrayList(3);
	for (int i = 0; i < jars.length; i++) {
		if (jars[i].indexOf(target) != -1)
			selected.add(jars[i]);
	}
	if (selected.size() == 0)
		return null;

	String[] selectedJars = new String[selected.size()];
	for (int i = 0; i < selected.size(); i++) {
		selectedJars[i] = extractFileName((String) selected.get(i));
	}
	if (debug)
		System.out.println(extractInnerURL((String) selected.get(findMax(selectedJars))));
	return extractInnerURL((String) selected.get(findMax(selectedJars)));
	}


...notice that this method uses String.indexOf to identify a matching bundle. 
If it used String.equals instead then it would correctly find JUST the
org.eclipse.osgi plugin
