Blocking Problem migrating from Eclipse-DSL 2023.03 Xtext 2.30 to Eclipse-DSL 2023.09 Xtext 2.32.0

[maxweissboeck]

I really stuck with a problem, literally for days now, making our tool run standalone as Eclipse RCP App.
Short history, we use it for over 2 years now and update to every second Eclipse and Xtext Version.
It's always some hours work to make it run again, but now I spent days searching the internet up and down to solve the problem, so I hope to get some help here.

Situation as is, it’s all compile clean, not even a single warning.
I can start the app in Testing Mode from inside Eclipse, everything is fine, see image TestMode.PNG

If I export the app via Exporting wizard, everything seems fine, no errors, no problems during export. If I start the exported App it looks like this, see Standalone.PNG

No syntax high light, no program icon, no error on the console.

As soon as I modify something in the App and try to save, I get a an error Popup containing this text (thats the one and only error I get):

Errors occurred during the build.
Error instantiating builder 'org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.xtextBuilder'.
Plug-in org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared was unable to load class org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.internal.ExecutableExtensionFactory.
org/eclipse/xtext/ui/guice/AbstractGuiceAwareExecutableExtensionFactory
Plug-in org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared was unable to load class org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.internal.ExecutableExtensionFactory.
org/eclipse/xtext/ui/guice/AbstractGuiceAwareExecutableExtensionFactory

Error is also written to a log file, thast the text from the log file.

As already written, I tried everything I found regarding this problem, added every library or jar file that was suggested as solution, I have not one javax.inject, but I had no progress at all, this error does not go away.

Is it something obvious I missed?
Please, please help :-)

kr, Max

[cdietrich]

is there more in the log?

[cdietrich]

you should purge all (runtime dependency) to old xpand xtend org.eclipse.xtext.generator

[cdietrich]

and also add new xtext requirents like new guava and guice and mwe etc

[maxweissboeck]

I'm not sure I understand "old xpand xtend org.eclipse.xtext.generator"
We started the project with a fresh Eclipse-DSL mid 2021, must have been Xtext 2.25
And we have all this:

import org.eclipse.xtext.generator.AbstractGenerator
import org.eclipse.xtext.generator.IFileSystemAccess2
import org.eclipse.xtext.generator.IGeneratorContext

Can you give me more hints on what "old xpand xtend org.eclipse.xtext.generator runtime dependecy" is and where I can remove them?

[cdietrich]

these are from org.eclipse.xtext and not from org.eclipse.xtext.generator bundle

[LorenzoBettini]

There are many unresolved bundles...
I seem to understand you're exporting the RCP application with the Eclipse PDE wizard, but I don't think that's reliable... for such things, you should use Maven/Tycho and let Tycho create the RCP applications.
Otherwise, if you want to use the export wizard, you should make sure that all the required bundles are part of your product definition (it would be better to make your product based on features).

[maxweissboeck]

Well, our problem is, we work in North Korea here :-)

We have, in the development department, no access to the internet.
The only way is to use a "Browser in the Box" to access the www.
Eclipse is downloaded and configuerd externaly, we build the zip file and transfer it to the dev environment.
The dev tools have no acces to the outside world...

Thats why we work in North Korea :-)

But thanks for the tipp with features, I will try this.

[cdietrich]

with downloading the xtext + emf + mwe update site zips you should get quite far
