If you edit a plugin.xml to add things or make corrections, how can you
make Eclipse actually *use* the change? I'm adding stuff to
org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ui but they're only ever used when I
first run Eclipse, and never again.
I've seen some suggestions about deleting configuration/*,
configuration/org.eclipse.core.runtime, or your workspace. None of this
actually makes the file get reused.
As an extreme, I've changed some strings in both plugin.xml and
plugin.properties to have stuff like "***HERE***" to make them even more
obvious, but they're definitely not showing up. There is no
plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ui_3.0.1.jar file to mess me up
either.
I'm getting the full source to Eclipse itself to try to find the answer,
but can't believe this is really supposed to be necessary. :)
Thanks,
B

Few options :
[Assuming that you have exported the plug-in]
1. modify the plugin.xml version. a higher version gets preference over a
lower version number
or
2. start eclipse with the -clean option. you dont need to modify the
plugin.xml version number.
[launching from within eclipse sdk]
1. i think there is an option which specifies where the plug-ins are to be
picked up from : the workspace or the plugins folder within eclipse. this
option is present in the Eclipse application launch tab, and my guess is
that you should pick it up from the workspace since that is where you have
modified the plug-ins
i hope that was useful
