Clarification on RCP & Plugin [message #449108]

I am developing a custom RCP application based on plugins.
I have also developed one plugin that is a UI component that is displayed
on the status line. This component works well when I deploy it in the
eclipse plugin directory.

Now I thought that I could just deploy it in my custom RCP application
plugin directory and that this plugin would somehow magically work but I
not even see it in the status line

Is it not possible to write plugins for a custom RCP app?

I should probably buy a book first.
This time, just override fillStatusLine in ApplicationActionBarAdvisor
andd write for ex:
statusLine.add(new MemoryMonitorContribution("MMC"));

try to restart your custom RCP application with option "-clean". It should re-read plugins
from plugin directory.

Did you include the org.eclipse.update.configurator plugin? And use
-clean like Roman suggested?

There was another thread in the last couple of days where someone solved
the same problem.
