Thread: application id not found

Hi ,

I am running my own built plug-in in Eclipse 3.4.2. I successfully built my plug-in but when i try run my plug-in, eclipse is displaying following below error

I modified config.ini by specifying plug-in name in "eclipse.application" attribute and enabled "eclipse.application.registerDescriptors".
After that if i start eclipse , it wont start but throws an exception like "eclipse.application=myplugin is not found in registry" in log file.
If i comment "eclipse.product" in config.ini leaving only "eclipse.application" and try to run eclipse same exception like "eclipse.application=myplugin is not found in registry" is displayed in log file.

How to register my plug-in in registry ? Where will be that registry ? Is that is Window->Show View->Other->Plug-in Registry ?
Where and How to specify my plug-in ID, So that the error "java.lang.RuntimeException: No application id has been found" can be removed ?

Below is my config.ini file:

And my system configuration is as below...

OS : Fedora 8
Machine : i386
Eclipse : eclipse-SDK-3.4.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz
Java : 1.5 Update 16

Please shed some light on this issue...

Thanks in Advance
Pradeep

pradeepsetty,

Could you tell me how you get error message texts from eclipse so they can be posted on a forum?

Thanks,
