I built a small prototype RCP plugin and when I drop it in other RCP app's
my plugin is recognized and I can see my views and perspectives in the
other RCP app (for example Eclipse IDE). However, If I drop any third
party plugin into my RCP prototype plugin app, it does not recognize those
third party plugins. Is there anything I have to do to make sure my RCP
plugin app recognizes other plugins?
Thanks in advance,
- Raja.

Hi Chris,
The console helped a lot. The plugin I was adding to my plugins folder
required some other plugins which were not in my Run
configurations->Plugins->Target Platform (i.e they were not checked
there). Once I did select all and ran my app, it picked the dropped
plugins.
While exporting the product (from .product), in configuration tab,
initially I was doing only "Add required plugin-ins" which added only the
plugins which my app required. But, the third party plugin, required
another eclipse core plugin which my app was not using. Once, I added all
the core plugins in my configuration tab and exported the product, it
picked the third party plugins fine.
So, my question is should we always include all the core eclipse plugins
in our product (even though our product does not use it)? How can we make
sure that we have all plugins used by the third party plugin.
Thanks,
- Raja.
