Project wizard in exported plug-ins [message #628676]

Hi,

I created a project wizard which creates projects for my dsl which are independent of JDT, PDE, and Xtext/Xpand.

It works fine when I start the IDE as eclipse application. But if I export the plug-ins into dropin my wizard does not show up anymore under new project.

Any hints are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Marco

Hi Marco,

please double-check you build.properties for any missing entries such as
plugin.xml or icons folder.

Regards,
Sebastian

It is both there, together with . and META-INF.

The contents of the jar looks fine with one exception: Beside the JDTFreeProjectCreator.class is a JDTFreeProjectCreator$1.class. Where does this come from?

Maybe more relevant:
The File/New menu of the re-started IDE with the jars in plugins has the entries Java Project and Project. The IDE started as eclipse application with "all workspace and enabled target plug-ins" has just an entry Project with Java Project and MyDsl Project below. Why is this menu different?

That's an anonymous class in JDTFreePRojectCreator.
Common Java thing - no problem.

Could be a couple of reasons. Maybe you run different versions of JDT
ui, or the capabilities are adjusted differently, or you may look at a
different perspective?

As I understood the menu entry is shown, but it doesn't work, right?
You could add a breakpoint to your bundles' Activator.start() to see
whether an exception is thrown during start().
If it is not called at all, you might want to use the OSGi console in
order to track the problem down.

Hi Sven,

There is no entry for my Wizard in the selection of New/Project.

How can I debug? If I start (or debug) as eclipse application everything is fine. But if I export into dropins and re-start the IDE the wizard is missing.

Hi Marco,

is it possible to edit an editor for your language? Is the plugin
available at all? Maybe there's something wrong with your drop-ins
folder? can you see your plug-in from the OSGi console?

Regards,
Sebastian
