Diagram is not present in resource [message #708976]

Context:
* Eclipse RCP application
* Eclipse Helios
* One editor contains a diagram based on GMF Tooling

Problem:
When we open that editor from the exported RCP application,
we get the message "Diagram is not present in resource".

Already tried:
* Running it inside Eclipse (debug or run) works fine
The problem only occurs when we export the RCP product.
* With remote debugging, we can see that the list of providers
that could handle our CreateDiagramViewOperation is empty.
We do have the correct extension point in our plugin.xml though:
org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.core.viewProviders
points to our diagram's generated viewProvider.
* It has worked before and still works on an old version of the app,
but we fail to see the differences...

Question:
* We don't onderstand the difference in behaviour between:
- Inside Eclipse
- From the exported RCP app
* Does anybody know of issues with such viewProviders?

Guys... Solved!
Well, I should say: the problem is gone, but don't understand why Eclipse acts this way.

In my previous post I told you that my plugin.xml was fine and it was.
But in the build.properties it didn't have a check, so it was not included in the bundle.
Stupid manipulation mistake, but ok, so be it.
Checked it, exported again, works.

But... I don't understand why Eclipse doesn't fail when you run the product inside Eclipse.
The plugin.xml is then automagically found?
I guess the real "bundling" is then not done. Ok, can accept that.
But it is quite annoying that this kind of error checking is not done automatically.

Is there a solution for this Eclipse behaviour?

Thanks,
Johan
