JAR format for features [message #201047] Fri, 15 April 2005 10:02 Go to next message

Trying again on different newgroup...

Is the new JAR plug-in format supported for feature plug-ins yet? I am
able run my plug-ins, installed from an update site, in M6, but the
features aren't listed under Help->About Eclipse. Perhaps it's just the
Help dialog that hasn't been updated?

Also, if I want to build the features in the old format, what is the value
to be passed to the eclipse.buildScripts target?

Thanks

Yes, this works for all kind of plugins. In order to actually see the plugin
in the About dialog, make sure to set 'Eclipse-AutoStart: true' in the
plugin manifest.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a MANIFEST.MF, which still seems to be
the case for most of the eclipse plug-ins, even those now in the JAR
format. I've never really understoond the pros and cons, and why it's not
yet the default in the plug-in project wizard. Is there any equivalent to
Eclipse-AutoStart: true in plugin.xml?

Thanks
