Hi,
i begin in RCP developpement and i have a problem.
I create a rcp project and export it by making a product.
I don't have any problem for this part. I have a monappi.exe and it works.

Secondly I create a plugin for my RCP Application. When I try it it's good.

I export the plugin by using Export/Deployable plugin and fragment

When I copy my plugin in eclipse/plugin, it works well, but when i copy my plugin in my application RCP it doen't work.

I don't understand

Could you help me please.

thanks

Hi,

Did you list your plugin in the Configuration page of your product
description?

In fact I would like not to touch my RCP application.

I would like to developp plugins that could be installed in my application and in Eclipse for instance.

In fact I will distribute my application once on each client computer and then each time I developp a new plugin I could tell to the users ok take this package and install it in the directory plugin of your application.

(In a near future I will create an update site .... but for now I would like to be very simple and do I would understand the mechanism of RCP I hope)

thanks for your help

possiblities:

1) Does starting your RCP app with -clean help?

2) you might need to include org.eclipse.update.configurator in your RCP
application in order for it to pick up new plugins that are just dropped
into the RCPAPP/plugins directory. I seem to remember this being the
case, but it might not be true any more.

Later,
