I've probably missed an earlier discussion, but has 3.1 M7 changed the
way the plugin.xml is created? In M6, plugin.xml was created as soon as
I created a plugin project. In M7, plugin.xml is not being created
until I do something like add an extension, and even then the contents
of plugin.xml are unusual.
Here's what I get with M6 as soon as I create a simple plugin project:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.0"?>
<plugin
id="test.m6.plugin"
name="Plugin Plug-in"
version="1.0.0"
provider-name="Jim"
class="test.m6.plugin.PluginPlugin">
<runtime>
<library name="plugin.jar"/>
</runtime>
<requires>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.ui"/>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.core.runtime"/>
</requires>
</plugin>
Here's what M7 creates, and then it only creates it after I add the
extension. It doesn't look healthy to me.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?eclipse version="3.0"?>
<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.views">
</extension>
</plugin>

This is undoubtedly intentional. The "create OSGi manifest" checkbox is
now on by default. By leaving it that way, and not adding any extensions,
you get a "pure" OSGi bundle (the notion of extension points is an Eclipse
concept). The plug-in manifest editor transparently edits the combination
of plugin.xml, manifest.mf and build.properties.
One thing to watch out for, is that when plugin.xml is created as a result
of adding an extension, it doesn't get checked on the build properties
page, so when you do a feature build, your plug-in doesn't run because
plugin.xml is missing.
Hope this helps
