Hello,
I'd like to use the GEF framework/plugin or the draw2d plugin in my custom
plugin.
Unfortunatly, neither the org.elipse.gef nor the org.eclipse.draw2d plugin
are available in the
Dependencies - add... listbox of the plugin.xml manifest editor.
I installed the GEF SDK and runtime. I see the corresponding subdirectories
in the features and plugin directories.
I see the feature and plugin details in the Eclipse About box (alas without
Provider Name and without Plugin Name, just the Version 3.0.0 and the id's).
What's missing?
Cheers,
Bernd

Hmm?
My eclipse installation is under
d:\eclipse-3.0
This is the location where I added the GEF plugins (and some other "custom"
plugins like de.jayefem.log4, this IS visible and addable, BTW).
My target platform currently points to the same location;
Windows->Preferences->Plugin Development->Target Platform - Location:
d:\eclipse-3.0
Alas, partially you are right, in this list, the gef/draw2d plugins/feature
do not appear.
Pressing "Reload" pops up a nice progress dialog, scanning plugins, but
afterwards nothing changed.
Pressing "Not in Workspace" (whatever that button might be for...) doesn't
even cause a flicker.
So, any idea how I could persuade eclipse to add the new plugins to this
list?
CU, Bernd

Yep! That's it!
The problems is triggered by "incomplete" manifest files (the ones in the
META-INF subdirectories) and
the way the eclipse core processes these incomplete files. Instead of
looking in the plugin.xml for
the missing data, the core kind of discards the plugin.
A patch seems to be scheduled for Eclipse 3.0.1, but as a workaround
deleting the META-INF subdirectories in the GEF and DRAW2D plugins and
features works just fine...
Cheers,
Bernd
