Can't install my plugin [message #1770940]

Hello,

I was able to start another Eclipse Application from my Host Eclipse and develop and test my plugin (CDT template implementation). It worked exactly as intended. However when I try to export the plugin into a new Eclipse. It does not work?

I exported my plug-in project and copied the *.jar file into the dropin folder of a new eclipse installation. (I went looking for it through the eclipse console and it does not appear listed?)

Thanks

Faisal

Hi Faisal,

I am not sure what went wrong here. Exporting + using bundles is not C/C++ specific, so you may find better help on this topic in one of the other forums. Perhaps PDEs one for the expoting side: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/14/ or the Equinox one where you may be able to get help on diagnosing why a plug-in is not being detected and the debugging steps you can do: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/31/
