I'm working on RCP application based on compatibility layer. In my application I have one main Application.e4xmi and multiple fragment.e4xmi. Case 1: If I run my application and close it and during close I'm saving the workspace then next time when I'll open it without cleaning the workspace then its work properly. Case 2: If Application is running and you kill it through task manager or simply by eclipse terminate( if you are running it through eclipse). then next time when you open it you will not see the menus which are contributed by Application.e4xmi Observation 1: By using live edition I'm seeing that all the menus and trimbars which are contributed by Application.e4xmi are not available in the application. But other menus which are contributed by fragment.e4xmi are there. Observation 2: By comparing the ".metadata/plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workspace.xmi" before and after UI messed Up. I found that In messed up workspace.xmi there is no entry for menuContributions which are contributed by Application.e4xmi. I can use "-persistState false" or "clearPersistedState" but I want my application to open as it was close so this option will not help to my application. Is any thing I'm missing and what is went wrong if application is killed.? And even same thing I'm observing with eclipse IDE as well.
First off, if you are using an Application.e4xmi then you are *not* using the compatibility layer. But this is a failure scenario. You killed the app in the middle of it running. We don't guarantee the state of the workbench.e4xmi, and provide -clean and -clearPersistedState to allow you to recover from that. PW
Hi Paul, Yes, But by using -clean and -clearPersistedState we can not store last State.
It's a recovery mechanism, not something to be put in the .ini file. i.e. if there's a crash, the customer should start up at least once with those options. If your app is crashing regularly, that's another problem. PW
Thanks Paul. So what i do with this bug, Should close it or you will do it?.
