HI.
I have a plugin which works great in eclipse 3.4....
Once i moved to 3.5, it wont even install saying that im missing a requirement.

The requirement is

com.mypackage.feature.feature.group[<version number>]

However, I have the feature "com.mypackage.feature", but have never heard of a feature group.... let along created or configured

I check the release notes for 3.4 to 3.5, but nothing really should affect this, as far as I can see!

Why would eclipse be adding on the 'feature.group' and making sure I had it??

Hi,

The .feature.group suffix is appended to the name of your feature to create the name of the p2 Installation Unit. For a feature "feature", the p2 IU is "feature.feature.group".
I think this error means that your feature was not installed with p2, then trying to install features depending on it with p2 tells you the missing dependency. The solution would be to create a p2-ready update-site for your feature, and re-install it using this new update site.
HTH,
