Eclipse Community ForumsImport/Export Feature
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/198924/634471/#msg_634471
------------------------------------------------------------
Created a Feature Project (New -> Project -> Plug-in Dev -> Feature Project).
Exported as a Deployable Feature (File -> Export -> Plug-in Dev -> Deployable Features).
The desired Feature Project to export shows up in the "Available Features:" panel, which I check. I add the export location (local disk). Upon clicking Finish, all seems to work (no errors).
In a different workspace, I've created a Target Definition and want to add the feature to TargetDefinition locations.
This is where I run into trouble. I've tried multiple ways, and I can't get the Feature to be recognized. I've tried:
"Add..." -> Features -> Navigate to folder. No Features are ever found/shown in the "Features" panel.
File -> Import -> Features -> Uncheck "Choose from features..." -> Navigate to directory (Browse). No Features show up.
------------------------------------------------------------
Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

When you export the feature, it creates the p2 information, right?
something like a content.jar and artifacts.jar in the root.

Are you selecting the directory about the features/ folder? The
instructions seem to indicate that this will load features from an
installation.
If you're getting p2 information in your deploy directory, pick software
site instead and install them from that.
