What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. I create a processing test project using the Processing Project wizard.
2. Add some minimal code in setup() and draw() methods.
3. Try to export as application.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get the following error:
"Unable to complete export
Reason:
/usr/lib/eclipse/lib/META-INF/MANIFEST.INF (No such file or directory)"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu Linux 9.04, Eclipse Galileo, Proclipsing 1.0.6

Please provide any additional information below.
I configured the processing and sketch path to the appropriate values in Proclipsing preferences.

I can't reproduce this on my linux machine, running Ubuntu 10.04. I could be wrong, but it appears that you're using the package manager to install Eclipse. I don't typically install eclipse that way because I like to keep up to date with the latest version of eclipse and I often use multiple installs. I think you will have success if you upgrade to the latest version of Eclilpse (Helio) and install it manually.

Manual installation for eclipse id dead simple, just unpack the tarball somewhere in your home directory, and run the eclipse executable from the command line. I usually put standalone apps like eclipse and processing in a ~/opt directory. I then create symlinks to the executables in ~/bin and add ~/bin to my $PATH. This has worked well for me, allowing me to keep multiple versions of eclipse and processing, among other things.

Thanks for the reply. I'll reinstall manually with Helios then.

I ran into this same problem. I just installed Eclipse Helios on Windows 7 and set it up to use proclipsing. Trying to export an applet.

I am running on a 64bit system, so had Eclipse Helios x64 installed. I am not having the same problem with Eclipse Helios 32-bit version, however I started getting a different issue at the same point in the export process:

Unable to complete export
Reason:
C:\Program Files(x86)\Programming\eclipse\lib\export\application.exe (Access is denied)

I changed the permissions on the eclipse directory and now it works like a charm.

I'm also facing this problem on Mac OS X

Error message:
Unable to complete export

Reason:
/Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/META_INF/MANIFEST.MF
(No such file or directory)

My system version is 10.7.4, with Eclipse version 4.2.0, proclipsing 1.0.5 and P5Export 1.0.6

Does anybody know how to solve this?

I tried Eclipse 3.7(Indigo) and it succeeded.
Is there a problem in proclipsing with Eclipse 4.2 support?
