Have been regularly RUN-ning a test E4 application (via the Eclipse IDE) without too many problems. However, I have just encountered an error on startup (RUN/DEBUG) that is terminating the application before it starts. It dies before any window is shown. I have NO IDEA why this started happening.
Via DEBUG, the first error (NullPointerException) I come across is in the:
org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.CharsetDeltaJob class: at line 206 (the Platform. call):
public void startup() {
Platform.getContentTypeManager().addContentTypeChangeListener(this);
}
I also get a slew of error messages in the terminal or log. I can find NO REFERENCE to any of my code. It all seems to be Eclipse core stuff. I'll include them at the end of this message. Questions:
1) Is there any way to make sure the OSGi system completely restarts upon a new DEBUG/RUN call?
2) Is this "deep" of an error common?
3) Any advice for debugging this kind of stuff? I've had some success with Eclipse/E4, but if this level of errors is commonplace, not sure if I'll be able to continue.
The stacktrace:

Pure e4 applications (ones that use the Application.e4xmi) can't use a lot of the old Eclipse 3.x compatibility code. In this case you seem to have included the org.eclipse.core.resources plugin (or possibly Eclipse added them automatically by mistake).
When building your RCP using a xxx.product file if you use a 'feature based' build you can just specify the features:
<your feature>
org.eclipse.e4.rcp
org.eclipse.emf.common
org.eclipse.emf.core
which will ensure that the build only uses e4 plugins.
It is possible to use some other Eclipse plugins, for example:
org.eclipse.jface.text
org.eclipse.text
basically you have to look at the plugin's dependencies to see if uses plugins that won't work such as org.eclipse.core.resources or any org.eclipse.ui.* plugin.
