Running an exported Xtend based application - eclipse-rcp

Question

I am attempting to use Xtend to generate and run an exported Eclipse RCP application. I am using Windows 10 with Java 1.8.0_181 and Eclipse Photon.
The following steps will recreate the problem in as clean an environment as I can create:
Install Eclipse Photon using the advanced mode of Oomph
Control the location of the pool so it will not inadvertently clobbered by other Eclipse usage.
Ensure that Java 8 is used for Eclipse
Create a new Eclipse workspace with the following configuration:
PDE stores the runtime files in a separate part of the workspace
The complete Xtext SDK is installed
Create an Eclipse plugin project with the following attributes:
Creates a RCP application
Uses the Eclipse E4 application template to seed the project
Includes the optionally generated graphic components
Convert the generated Java files to Xtend and get rid of the original Java files.
Load the generated product configuration and run the application from the Overview page. This works without problem.
Export the project using the export wizard from the product configuration page. The export runs without any reported errors.
Start the exported project from the command line. It fails in the following manner:
The application comes up but none of the components supplied by the Xtend code are displayed.
Here is the log from the run:

- As you can see none of the classes specified in the Xtend files could be found. It appears that the reason for this that the jar file containing the project artifacts (in the exported plugins directory) only contains the Xtend source code, not the Java .class files that I believe are needed.
I have added the build.properties file as generated by Eclipse. I did not touch it.
source.. = src/
output.. = bin/
bin.includes = plugin.xml,\
META-INF/,\
.,\
icons/,\
css/default.css,\
Application.e4xmi
What do I need to do to get a correct exported jar file for the project?

Answer 1

you need to make sure that the xtend-gen folder is a source folder and listed in the build.properties file. you should even get a warning on it.
and after
source.. = src/,\
xtend-gen/
output.. = bin/
bin.includes = META-INF/,\
...
.
and here the .classpath that adds xtend-gen as source folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.8"/>
<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.pde.core.requiredPlugins"/>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
<classpathentry kind="src" path="xtend-gen"/>
<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>
</classpath>
