Hi,
my "problem" is as follows:
I wrote a custom Eclipse Plugin. It compiles flawlessly and all, and
from Eclipse I can start it using "Run.." -> "As new Configuration".
Which gives me the new Eclipse instance with all of my Plugins features,
perspectives and all.
However, how do I integrate my Plugin into Eclipse, so that it becomes
available on start, without having to "Run.." it? Any advice would be
much appreciated.
-M.

You'll probably want to use "File->Export->Plug-in
Development->Deployable plug-ins and fragments" to create plugins that
you will put into the plugins folder of your eclipse installation.
You'll need to restart and probably will need to use -clean so it sees
the new plugins are there.

Hi,
first of all, thanks a ton for helping me again, Ed.
I was finally able to export my plugins the way you suggested and then
moved them (along with EMF, GEF) to the appropriate folder of a brandnew
Eclipse package.
However, while there are no complaints from Eclipse, my plugin-features
aren't available either (EMF, GEF are tho). In "About Eclipse SDK
Plug-ins" my plugins won't show up either. They do however show up in
the "Configuration Details" of Eclipses "About" as [installed]. They
seem to be the only [installed] ones there, whereas most others are
[active] or [starting] or [resolved] or whatever. Sorry for this stab in
the dark, but do I have to take any other action now in order to get
this to work?
TIA,
-M.

If you run with -clean -debug the Error log should have details about
why your plugins failed to resolve or activate properly. It's very
important to make sure the build.properties correctly specifies what
should be in the final deployed result and that the MANIFEST.MF's
Bundle-Classpath will properly point at where the .class files end up.
When running from within the IDE, the PDE ends up using the contents of
the bin folder to run, so things might run fine that way but then fail
to run when you deploy...

Hi,
Thank you for your answer, Charlie.
I'm not sure if that's what I was/am looking for.
My plugins add the functionality of a graphical editor based on emf, gef
to eclipse. I can add your suggested Extension and have it do stuff on
startup of the workbench.. but I wouldn't know how to make earlyStart()
"activate" them. Am I being subconsciously ignorant, or is there a
different way for my plugins to work and show up in New->Project and in
the Perspectives list.. just like they would in the
new_runtime_workbench instance?

Hi Mire,
I read the response(s) by Ed Merks.
His ideas are probably the best.

Hi,
this is kinda embarrassing, but I still wanted to let you two know that
I got it all solved. For some reason, the compiling during the export
gave an error on one of the required bundles, whereas it normally
compiled without problems. After I had that fixed, I kinda forgot about
it .. and ended up missing one of the multiple required "side-bundles"
of the emf model. So after I supplied that one to the plugin direction
too, it resolved. Another clean of my workspace resolved the remaining
runtime problems and it's all working flawlessly now.
Thanks again, especially to Ed who has helped me twice already!
