Dear Eclipser.

Here is my problem on which i have put lots of efforts, but could not get it solved.

I have developed a plugin and it completely works when i run it within the eclipse. (When it is running within the second instance of eclipse). In this plugin, i am using other plugins developed by my friends. As i said, every thing works fine when i am testing my plugin in the second instance of eclipse which can be fired from the PDE environment. My problem starts when i deploy the plugin. I am using the export wizard within PDE to build a jar file out of my plugin. Then i just put it in the dropin folder of another eclipse installation. But things stop working. I have checked all the file references and all of them are correct.

Do you have any hint what is should do ?

Thanks for any advice
ALireza

ALireza,
Have you checked the error log on the copy you are trying to install
your plug-in to? Also have you though about creating an update site. I
have found that to be more reliable than the dropin folder (I believe
that the dropin folder has been deprecated from what I have read).

It sounds like perhaps the Eclipse instance that you are dropping your
plugin into does not contain the other bundles developed by your friends.
