Hi,
I am pretty sure I declared my extension point correctly because when I
create a new plugin project I can extend my extension point, after setting
a dependency on the providing plugin. (Thanks Kim Horne)
Now i am trying to programatically (FAQ 86 from eclipsefaq.org) find the
plugin(s) that extend my extension point. What happens is I am able to
find the plugin I wrote that extends my extension point but when I try
"getConfigurationElements()" on the extension, it is always of length zero.
The code in FAQ 86 seems to require the getConfigurationElements() method
to return at least one object to be able to create an instance of the
plugin...
Another question I have is..
When you create an extension point, in the schema editor you have to
create an element and attributes such as: name, id and class. Say I added
another attribute (under an element that I added) called test and set it
to required, is it supposed to display on the Extending plugin's
'Extensions' tab of its plugin.xml?
Thanks in advance.

Then find your plugin and see who is extending it. If you see ones there,
you probably made a typo
in your discovery plugin.

Think I figured out my own problem for now..
On the extensions page I clicked ADD and added the extension but then I
had not created a new element from it.
thx!
