Startlevels for workspacebundles

[EaseRider]

I have some startLevels defined in my product:

<configurations>
      <plugin id="org.eclipse.core.runtime" autoStart="true" startLevel="1" />
      <plugin id="org.eclipse.equinox.ds" autoStart="true" startLevel="1" />
      <plugin id="org.eclipse.equinox.event" autoStart="true" startLevel="2" />
      <plugin id="my.plugin" autoStart="true" startLevel="3" />
   </configurations>

But they seem not to have any impact. The important point is for the plugin from workspace: <setEntry value="my.plugin@default:default"/> So that I need to define at least the my.plugin startlevel in the lc to run my project properly.

Also the org.eclipse.equinox.ds does not get any starting level: <setEntry value="org.eclipse.equinox.ds*[version]@default:default"/>

And org.eclipse.core.runtime gets another start level: <setEntry value="org.eclipse.core.runtime*3.20.100.v20210111-0815@0:true"/>

The lc looks like this:

explicit eclipse configuration MyProduct {
    product my.product;
    content-provider "${workspace_loc:my.product}/product.product";
    //plugin my.plugin startlevel 3 autostart;
}

Currently configuration for plugins (start levels, auto start) is not extracted out of a referenced product file. Only VM and program arguments are transferred from product configuration to launch configuration.

But it's a good idea. Maybe I find some time to contribute this.

I have created a PR #44 which adds start level and auto start configured in the .product file to the launch configuration. If you configure a plugin in your .lc file the start level and auto start configured there has still precedence.

PR #44 has been merged. @mduft when will you provide a new update site?

[mduft]

I just updated the 'lcdsl-latest' update site at https://mduft.github.io/lcdsl-latest/ - the site is now targeted at Eclipse 2021-12, since this has the launch configuration view already in it. If you still need an older Eclipse, you will need to grab the view (only!) from https://mduft.github.io/lcdsl-legacy/ and LcDSL from https://mduft.github.io/lcdsl-latest/ - that should work (untested though).

Edit: Please tell me after a quick test if things are working so I can close this :)

I have tested latest updatesite (btw. thanks for the providing it that fast!). Reading start level and auto start from product file works for me. I'm also fine with providing it only to Eclipse 2021-12.

Thanks for the retest :)
