I have a bunch of Eclipse plug-ins that I would like to export as an Eclipse product. I have a product file generated from a run configuration that works perfectly fine. The the thing I am working on is a headless application. I use Eclipse Ganymede 3.4.2 on Mac OS X 10.5.6. The Eclipse IDE runs under Java 1.5. The application I am developing runs under Java 1.6.

When I kick off the export, Eclipse gets stuck at a bit under 50 percent on the export progress bar and then enters a phase of very high CPU load for minutes on end, but without visibly achieving anything.

The project size is this: about 10 plug-ins that I develop. About 28 or so target platform plug-ins that these depend on. Some of the plug-ins I develop are extremely small in size, none of them is really very substantial. So there should be no reason for Eclipse to spend much effort on compiling, converting or the like.

Any hints would be most welcome.

Cheers,
Joerg

I wrote that when I kick off the export, Eclipse gets stuck at a bit under 50 percent on the export progress bar and then enters a phase of very high CPU load for minutes on end, but without visibly achieving anything.

I have to add that Eclipse really seems to get stuck and never (as far as I can tell) finishes the export. Have tried this a number of times. I have carefully re-created the product file a few times. To no avail.

Whenever I export, Eclipse seems to start burning CPU cycles such that my laptop becomes hot like a frying pan.

Hi,

i have the very same problem on the same configuration (only difference is that my application also runs under Java 1.5). Have you had any luck finding out what the problem is?

I myself have eventually done my exporting on an Ubuntu virtual machine running inside virtual box for the time being.

A friend of mine has succeeded exporting on Mac OS X after installing the delta pack, if I understand her correctly. I haven't gotten around to doing that just yet. You could try it.

I got it to work. Not shure though, what did it in the end, but nonetheless i give a quick list:

- installed delta pack and reloaded the target platform (maybe this did the trick)
- used different export path (but i don't think that's what solved the problem ;-))
- chose NOT to include JRE in Mac OS X export (i bet this is the one that caused the trouble)

I have had the very same problem and yes, setting the JRE to 'None' in the product configurations Launching tab did the trick.
