Hi @zou,

Take a look at the instructions in this forum post:

Desktop Product build

Hi, I am having problems building a complete knime installation (currently not modifying anything just trying to build it). Running through Launch configurations, everything works as expected, the source code can be changed, etc. Checking out the org.knime.update.product repo, trying to run the desktop.product file gives errors (from eclipse and after exporting as well). [image] Running outside from eclipse gives one more error message: java.lang.RuntimeException: Application “org.knime.p…

best,
Gabriel

Hi Zou,

1. you commented out the modules that you need for your build:

	<!-- <module>org.knime.product</module> -->
	<!-- <module>org.knime.features.product</module> -->

2. the jre is not enabled by default in the target platform, as you don’t need when developing. You can add it in the target platform config.

best,
Gabriel
