Why isn't one of my plugins showing up in the export wizard?
I've created four plugins; they're all in my workspace. When I try to
export them using "File..Export..Plug-in Development/Deployable plug-ins
and fragments", only three of my plugins show up in the list of available
plugins and fragments.
Any ideas?

I've compared the build.properties, plugin.xml, MANIFEST.MF, .project
and .classpath files with a project which is recognized by the Export
Wizard, and I don't see anything which might be causing this.
If there is someone who is familiar with the internals of the Export
Wizard, perhaps they could explain what information is used by the
wizard to identify a plugin project?
Even more importantly, I'd like to know how to reset the plugins so that
they can then be exported.
Thanks.

ps I have no idea where the source for the Export Wizard is, but if
someone can point me at it I'll have a look for myself.

After tracing GetListElements() in the PluginExportWizardPage, it

any of the files, but that WorkspaceModelManager.isBinaryProject()
returns true.
The EXTERNAL_PROJECT_PROPERTY is set, even though the project is not
really external in the sense that all of the source and other files are
in the project in the workspace. Shouldn't that be sufficient for the
plugin to be exportable?
Could be something about the "imported" property not getting reset or
something like that. I'm not exactly sure what I did to cause the
situation. Maybe the plugin was a binary import originally and then the
source added, moved around, etc.
In any event, the problem is real. Is this an obscure bug that should
be submitted? It is certainly a bit of a PIA for me to straighten out.
Perhaps the logic in GetListElements() which decides what an eligible
project is could be reconsidered? Or perhaps the problem is with
isBinaryProperty()? I wouldn't presume to totally understand the
situation, but hopefully someone who does will take a look. I'll retain
the problem workspace and projects in case there is any more information
that would be useful.

Make sure the 4th one IS a plugin project and not just a Java project.

Thanks Ankur. The plugin project in question has the same project natures
and builders as the other projects - including the plugin nature.
One thing it doesn't have is a plugin.xml, nor does it have a
build.properties. I didn't think those would be needed, though.
Still looking -

How do you have a plug-in project w/o a build.properties ;)?
How did you create the plug-in project?
What's your workflow like?
