PDE question [message #234294] Fri, 11 August 2006 17:10 Go to next message

Here's something that's confusing me - maybe someone can help.

I start with Eclipse (let's say 3.2, for the sake of argument). I create a
new plug-in project named "foo" with an Activator but no UI contribution. I
then launch it in a target instance, with Debug As -> Eclipse Application,
making sure that it is listed in the plug-in configuration tab ("Launch with
all workspace and enabled external plug-ins" is selected and "foo" shows up
in the list underneath).

In my new target instance, I then create a new plug-in project named "bar".
I want to make "bar" depend on "foo." But I can't! "Foo" is not visible in
the list of plug-ins, neither in the PDE manifest editor nor in the Plug-ins
tab. It's there if I go to Help -> About -> Plug-in Details, but that's
all.

What's going on? Is there some additional step I'm missing? Does the
plug-in have to be activated before it shows up in the PDE lists?

Does it make a difference if you add at least one class and export the
package in foo?

Later,

It doesn't seem to.

Nor does it matter if I expose an extension point.

Bingo. Thanks, Paul. I'll explore workarounds. Good to know, at least,
that this does not represent evidence that I'm going crazy.
