Hmmm, lots of questions, sorry.

I am trying to deploy my plugin. It is written as a bundle and testing
goes fine. However, I cant use the "Export/plugins and fragments" because
my plugin does not show up. I tried to just to make a directory in the
plugin directory with my classes/resources and a META-INF directory, didnt
work either.

I also could not find a plugin that was just a deployed bundle.

I understood you will build support for this this month, but it would be
nice to send this out.

Thanks, kind regards,

Peter Kriens

Questions are good.

Yes, full support for this is not all there. One way to work around this is
to put a plugin.xml file in your bundle. The plugin.xml will not be used at
runtime but it will make PDE and the Update mechansim happy and they will
see your bundle as a plugin so export, install, ... it. The plugin.xml does
not have to be 100% accurate but take a good stab at making it correspond to
what is in your manifest.mf and you should be ok. Note, do not delete your
manifest.mf. That is what the runtime will use.

Your patience and feedback here are greatly appreciated. You are an early
adoptor and so will see some of the rough edges/incompleteness.
