Hi,

I tried to compose feature.xml and site.xml to download my plugin from URL
in Sortware Updates > Add site...
I can install and run my plugin by this way in Windows and Linux. However,
only in MacOS, my plugin is not running. It is installed fine when I check
the installed software - I see my plugin name on the list. But, for some
reason, it's just not running, only in MacOS. I specified MacOS as well as
Windows and Linux in features.xml. I didn't specify Window Systems,
Languages, and Architecture, though.

I have no idea how the problem happens only in MacOS.
Would this be a bug? Or, would any warning in the source code make the
diffrence in the different OS? (I have some warnings related to Iterator
ray type.)

Does anyone have any idea on this?
Thank you for your help.

Thanks,
MJ

MJ,

If you start running with -clean -debug, it might be the case that the
<workspace>/.metadata/.log will have more informational messages that
might clue you in to why your plugins or features might not be
activating. You could erase the current log file first so you can be
sure all the messages you see are from the latest invocation.

Ed,

Thank you for the answer. But, deleting log files and reinstalling my
plugin did not work through as well. This issue is very tricky because it
only occurs in MacOS. Do you have any other clues at all?

MJ,

Not a single clue in the log. Most failures are logged. The clues are
going to come from your application and the information you harvest from
that, not so much from the newsgroup. It might be as simple as
depending on Java 5.0 and not having a JRE for that. But the log would
tell you this.
