Hey all,
i've a couple of plugins, which i had initially developed under 3.3.
Now, i had move to 3.4 and after exporting them, any 3.4 distribution
won't found them.
I'm a bit confused, because when i test the plugins from within the
Eclipse 3.4 distribution (by launching an Eclipse Application), i can
access them?
May i have to configure some other properties? I have any more ideas.
Thx
Timothy

How are you installing the plug-ins into 3.4?
I have a hunch it may be related to the new target platform preference
in 3.4:
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/topic/org.eclipse.pde.doc.u ser/guide/tools/preference_pages/target_platform.htm
"How PDE builds it target platform is dictated by the Build target
platform based on target's installed plug-ins preference. When this
preference is enabled, PDE will attempt to locate the target location's
list of installed plug-ins inside a configuration file (platform.xml or
bundles.info). If PDE finds this file, it will build the target platform
based on the plug-ins inside the configuration file. If it doesn't find
the file, PDE will just manually scan the target location directory for
the list of plug-ins."
Note, we have significantly updated the target platform story in 3.5...
it's a much better place ;)
