How to replace a old plugin with a new version one in Eclipse3.0 Env. [message #277236] Tue, 07 December 2004 07:55 Go to next message

Hi, all

I have encountered a problem in Eclipse3.0 when I replace a old plugin with
a new one.
For example, the original plugin in plugin directory is com.example.test.
After some modification, I put the new jar file and plugin.xml file into
this directory.
But when the eclipse platform start up, the plugin still uses the old one's
jar file and plugin.xml.

I guess the problem may be caused by cache mechanism in Eclipse3.0.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Thanks very much,

Seariver

You need to start with the -clean cmdline option for the cache to be reset.

Hi, as a follow-up question, is there a way to have Eclipse reload the
features, too? Running with the -clean option reloads changes in the
plugins directory, but doesn't seem to reload changes in features.

Is there a general way to refresh the list data found in "Help > About
Eclipse Platform > Feature Details"?
