Hi,

I have got an RCP application which is defined by the following projects:

  • Application Project (including e4xmi)
  • Feature Definition
  • Target Platform
  • Product

Now, I would like to add some optional functionality by defining a plug-in with a fragment.e4xmi.
My idea was to just create an additional product projekt which has a dependency for the new plug-in.

Is this the right approach to do this?

Thanks for any advice!

I did something similar, using Tycho, that is a maven plugin, and it is working as follows:

consider having two projects, one called MyPlatform and the other called MyPlugin.

  • MyPlatform contains the Application.e4xmi
  • MyPlugin contains the Fragment.e4xmi which is based on the platform application.e4xmi


for each of the two projects above you will need 5 eclipse projects:

  • project.bundle : contains the real plugin classes, the application xmi, etc.
  • project.test : contains the test classes
  • project.parent : it is used to start the maven build
  • project.feature : it groups the plugins needed for the project in one feature
  • project.repository : it is the place where maven/tycho is going to generate your build artifacts.


I initially used the Target platform, but I get rid of it at a later stage of the project since it is not needed anymore.
Now I'm just using plugins/features defined in the product file.

If you're interested in using Tycho, see these useful references:
