I've recently started attempting to start packaging my functionality as
a group of plugins and a feature. For some reason, the feature won't
show up in Help -> About and I'm not sure what is wrong with my feature.
Can anyone give me any ideas on what to look for to fix this problem?
Is there some tracing or something I can turn on to try to find the
problem?

Thanks,
Craig

If your feature has branding (i.e. an associated plugin with same id, or
specified in feature.xml as a "plugin" attribute on the <feature> element)
then you should see it. Otherwise, check the Help > Software Updates >
Manage Configuration and see if appears there.

Dorian,

Thanks for your prompt reply. My plugin does not currently have any
branding associated with it. I didn't realize that branding was
required for the feature to show in the About dialog. Checking the
Manage Configuration shows it as installed.

Thanks,
Craig
