Hi,

I am programmatically loading a plugin from the start() method in my
wizard. The plugin is (validly) throwing an Exception that I would like
to capture so that I can display a meaningful error message. However, it
seems to be caught elsewhere and reported as "Problem Opening Wizard" in
MyWizard displayed as a message box with a generic (and unhelpful) error
message.

MyWizard code looks like this:
public void start (BundleContext context) throws Exception {
...
try {
myPlugin = new MyPlugin() ;
} catch (Exception ex) {
// never gets here
}
}
and MyPlugin looks like this

public void start (BundleContext context) throws Exception {
...
if (problemDetected)
throw Exception("Problem found") ;
...
}

Any ideas on how to capture this?

Hey

Try to find out if instantiating a plugin class causes the start() to be
invoked.
You can debug the application setting a a breakpoint on the line where
MyPlugin class is instantiated.
