Hi Christian,

I have created plugin for my dsl editor that developed using xtext.

It is installing on my eclipse IDE successfully but when I using the same plugin on some other system it is throwing below error. I debug the plugin but I didn't get the solution.

I checked in my plugin it contains all the artifacts like :

Please find the attached plugin. Could you please tell me the bug in my setup?

the screenhot is irrelevant. the interesting point is what is in the error message. it says you what is wrong.

in the screenshot you can only see the beginning of the message: requires bundle ...

Hi Christian,

I am new to xtext. This is the first time I am working on it. So I don't know what all are required to create a plugin so at the time of plugin creation I have added all the artifacts.

is it working if you remove it? do you have a updatesite for xtext added to your target eclipse? is xtext already installed there?

why we need xtext installing on customer side, though my plugin developed from xtext ? Can you please explain?

xtext has parts that generate stuff, but xtext has api parts as well.
these api parts are not copied to each language but reused by all languages.
this is why you need e.g. the plugin org.eclipse.xtext in your target environment.

of couse you can e.g. add the xtext.sdk feature to the included features in the feature editor of your feature xml
or you simply add the xtext update site as well to your customer ide.

or .... (tons of options on how to deal with this)

Hi Christian,

But the newly generated plugin is not working individually. If I install xtext plugin its working. Am I going in right direction? Can you please guide me?

org.eclipse.text is not org.eclipse.xtext

and there are others (ca 30) to add.

so did you add xtext.sdk to included features?

It's a spelling mistake. I have added org.eclipse.xtext. I didn't see xtext.sdk there in the list. Do I need to install 30 more packages?

yes i have no complete list.

thus simply add the sdk to the feature, p2 will then pick what it needs
