Hi

The Eclipse IDE doesn't find my plugin. I dropped the jar file into the
plugins directory and Eclipse should provide an additional ViewPart.

I can "install file:plugin/blub.jar" and "start" it from the OSGi console,
but it doesn't do that automatically on startup.

The Wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Where_Is_My_Bundle) isn't up to date
("Note that these steps are for Eclipse 3.3 and earlier") and doesn't give
any advice what to do, when the platform.xml file doesn't list my plugin.
My config.ini includes:
osgi.bundles=reference\:file\:org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.0.0.v20080604.jar@1\:start

With p2 (Eclipse 3.4 and later) you can't just drop things into the
plugins/ directory. You can use the dropins/ directory instead. See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started

Hope this helps,
Eric

Thanks for this info. I didn't know that. It didn't help, though. :(

Hi

problem solved, but no real solution found. After some updating and
"eclipse -clean"-ing it suddenly worked. I've got no idea why and wonder
why i never saw any errors/exceptions from the plugin system, when there
were some problems.

cheers
Andreas
