linking problem with extension point [message #532307]

Hello,

I am trying to implement an extension point and am getting the error below left in the .metadata/.log file at runtime. It cannot find the extension point org.csstudio.cls.product.startupmodule.Workbench. When run at a terminal, a ClassNotFound exception comes out.

I created the project as an RCP plugin project but had to add the java nature to the .project file in order to add the src directory and the org.csstudio.cls.product.startupmodule package. The startupmodule package contains the Workbench java class with which I intend to implement the org.csstudio.module.workbench extension point. I thought that it was working for a while because the application runs within the IDE quite well (using the Launch link from the product page) but I just noticed this runtime error which only occurs after exporting.

I backtracked with version control and was able to compare a working export directory structure with a broken one and found that the 'org' directory structure was missing from the broken export. Any version where I specify my own extension point (like so in my plugin.xml)
<extension
point="org.csstudio.startup.module">
... (omited working extensions...)
<workbench
class="org.csstudio.cls.product.startupmodule.Workbench">
</workbench>
...
</extension>
does not execute after exporting and is missing the 'org' directory. What areas might affect the whether the 'org' directory appears in the export? Did steps may I have missed in implementing the extension point?

I tried adding things to the build.properties file. I also tried adding '.' and 'src' to the .classpath using "Configure Build Path". My .classpath is pasted below the error message.

From reading other posts I expect the OSGI terminal might be useful here. I'm unfamiliar with it. How might I use it in this case?

Any/all ideas are certainly welcome.

Thank you, I appreciete your help,

Laurier

Checking the checkbox "Generate metadata repository" in the export wizard solves my problem.

I'm going to read about this option and try to figure out more about why this does what it does and when and why it's required.

Thanks for reading, hopefully this helps.
