I am having problems deploying a plugin for use with Eclipse. I can launch it in a new workbench from my IDE, but when I package it and drop it in the eclipse/plugins folder, Eclipse is not picking it up. Any ideas? Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks in advance.

Start the eclipse with a console:
add

-consolelog
-console
-vm [fully quallified path to a java.exe e.g. C:\java\bin\java.exe]

to your eclipse.ini file in the eclipse root directory.
After a restart of your eclipse a console should show up. with "ss"
(without quotes) you can list all bundles and states with "start [bundle
id]" you can try to start your bundle and check the log.
If it still does not work please post a log entry.

OK, I finally got the menu item to show up in my Eclipse workbench. However, it doesn't do anything when I select it. While debugging in the console, I noticed that the class loader throws a NoClassDefFoundError for a class that lives in a dependency that is wrapped in an OSGI wrapper located in my eclipse/plugins folder. I used "ss" to verify that my plugin is active and the OSGI wrapper is resolved. I have no idea why the class loader fails to load that class, since I don't have any problems running this in my IDE and the manifest in my IDE is exactly the same as the one in the deployed plugin. I verified that the package that the missing class is located in is exported by the OSGI wrapper.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
