Hi,
I have written a plug-in and tested it using the run-time workbench. Now,
I create a jar file (file/export/jar file) and copy it to a subfolder of
the plugins directory of eclipse (namely "plugins/de.uds.cs.st.dd/"). I
copy my plugin.xml file to that directory and I also copy my icons
subdirectory to the "plugins/.../" dir.
When I now start Eclipse, I do see my icons, but as soon as I select an
icon, instead of performing the action, Eclipse just tells me "The chosen
operation is not currently available". Why?
I had similar problems before, when trying to test my plugin with the
runtime-workbench. Thanks to Daniel Megert, I eventually found out that I
had used the "-dev /bin" command line parameter to run my
runtime-workbench. This had to be changed to "-dev /" to work. In the
process, I checked my plugin.xml file (several times), and I am quite
confident, that everything's okay with it. "de.uds.cs.st.dd" really is the
id specified in the plugin.xml the runtime library is
"de.uds.cs.st.dd/dd.jar" and dd.jar _is_ the name of my jar-file...
So, do you have any ideas what I could have done wrong this time?
Thanks in advance,
Philipp

Hey, now this could be interesting:
Actually, I _can_ install my plug-in using Windows! It's absolutely no
problem: I select "export as jar file", copy the contents to the plugins
directory and after a restart of eclipse, my plug-in is there ---- and
working!
If I try it under linux, I still get the error message ("currently not
available"). The behavior using linux does not change, whether I create
the
jar-file using windows or linux.
This is soooooo strange!
But has anybody experienced similar problems, and could anyone provide me
with a hint, or an idea, or a possible solution, please? I don't know what
else I could try... Funny thing, platform independence ;-))
