I am on eclipse 3.1 gtk linux.
I have a RCP application that defines an extension point. For testing, I
have the application extend that extension point, calling it test. I
have a plugin called tracker that also extends the same extension point.
When I run the RCP application from the 'Launch the product' button on
the Overview tab of the product definition, my program can see both
extensions. When I do an export with the 'Eclipse Product export wizard'
and then launch the application from the command line, the application
does not see the extension from the tracker plugin.
What do I mean by see? I use this code to look for extensions to my
extension point :
IExtensionPoint[] extPointArray =
extReg.getExtensionPoints("my.plugin.path");
String extName = extPointArray[i].getUniqueIdentifier();
IExtensionPoint extPoint = extReg.getExtensionPoint(extName);
System.out.println("Found "+extArray.length+" extensions to navPlugin");
Using something like that code (removed the for loops and null checks),
I find two when I launch with eclipse, but only one when I launch as a RCP.
Is there something I need to do for my RCP application to scan the
plugins folder at startup so they will be in the registry?

I had a similar problem recently and discovered that plugin.xml of the
plugin providing an extension was not exported, because it wasn't listed
in build.properties (I use manifest files so plugin.xml is not always
necesary). Check it, maybe it's the cause of your problem as well.

Why is it that even after a week of banging your head, you just have to
ask the question, and then all of a sudden it gets solved.
Anyway, it now works. I think the real issue was adding the
org.eclipse.update.configurator to the configuration page of my .product
file. When I did this, the config.ini no longer lists all the plugins it
knows, and has this line:
osgi.bundles=org.eclipse.core.runtime@2:start,org.eclipse.update.configurator@3:start
Is that correct? Adding this plugin is necessary to get other plugins
'scaned' at startup?
That wasn't the only issue, and I at first dismissed it when it didn't work.
I did two other things. I quit eclipse, kde, and all java threads. Then
I deleted all the workspace-* folders in my home directory.
After this "cleaning", it now sees to work.
