[QVTo] Exporting a plugin [message #666999]

Hi,

I've been developing a plugin with QVTo transformations and I've been running into a problem when exporting it and installing in Eclipse.

This is basically two projects, a regular plugin project which contains code to invoke QVTo in Java, and a QVTo plug-in project which contains the transformations. I export them together as plugins.

The Java invocation code contains a reference to the transformation as platform:/resource/[path to transformation], just as in the Java invocation example. However, that seems to look for the files in the workspace so if I put the transformations in the right place in the workspace then everything works. What I want is of course to make the transformation files available with the plugin so it's invisible to the user. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

You should be able to make the URI:
platform:/plugin/[plugin-id]/[path-to-transformation]

That works for me anyway.
