Deploying an local Xtext Plugin [message #1807497]

I made a DSL with Xtext.

I generated the plugin using this procedure https://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_create_an_update_site_(site.xml)%3F

I added the necessary plugins (dsl, dsl.ide and dsl.ui).

But everything seems okay and I can see it among "insttaled software" but Eclipse does not seem to recognize the syntax of my DSL ?

PS: My dsl works without any problem when I run it as a configuration with a new Eclipse instance but not when installed as a plugin.

The wizard has an option to for an update size too.
Please use the host osgi console to find out what the problem is
Hit the plus button in the console view and select host osgi console
Type
ss yourdsl

This will show your plugins if the were installed correctly

If they are not active type

start <ID>
To start them or to find out what the problem is
Use the ids the ss command gave you

are you sure the file extension is correct.
what does the open with menu show?
is there are section for yourdsl in the preferences?
with no input from your side its impossible to help

I reproduced the problem here : https://github.com/aduninon/GeetingDSL

Can you please check it out

When I install the plugin in 'update' it is not recognized.

And I use the feature in 'feature' folder
