Problem with plugin dependency [message #532198] Fri, 07 May 2010 13:40 Go to next message

Hi,

I have the following problem. I have sucessfully installed in my Eclipse the
plugin X. The functionality it provides is available in the environment. The
problem is that it appears in the "Plug-in Registry" view but not in the
"Plug-ins" view. Very strange. Even stranger is the fact that in the
manifest file of a plugin Y I can't add a dependency with the plugin X
because it is not found.

What can be causing this? How can I fix it?

Thanks in advance

Mario

There is a difference between installing a plug-in into your host IDE and developing against a plug-in. The plug-in registry shows what you have installed in the IDE, what you are currently running. The plug-ins view shows the set of plug-ins you are developing against (what plug-ins PDE knows about).

The plug-ins that PDE knows about is defined by the Target Platform. To modify your target platform, go to Preferences > PDE > Target Platform. The default target platform should be the contents of your IDE, so pressing restore defaults on the preference page may fix your issue.

What version of Eclipse are you using. I was referring to the behaviour in 3.5/3.6. How did you install your plug-ins into the IDE?

It is actually an RCP application based on 3.4 (Ganymede). I have installed
the plug-in just by copying it into the plugins folder
