Hello all,

I created an editor by defining an .odesign file. I can also create some sample models with that editor without any problems. Now, I want to create an update site so that I will be able to distribute my editor. So, I followed the guideline in [1]. While I am creating the update site project, I encountered a few problems. First of all, the created jar files do not contain any .class files. So, I supposed that I should check the boxes of bin folder in manifest.mf files in necessary projects which are MyModel, MyModel.edit, MyModel.editor and MyModel.design.

Now, I am able to install the plugin via Install New Software menu. After the installation I create a modeling project. When I try to add my metamodel, I can see my metamodel in the list. However, I cannot see the root element in the next menu.

I could not figure out what I am doing wrong. I am open to any kind of advice. Thanks in advance for your help.

I figured out the problem after some more digging. I had changed the name of the project. I realized that the Activator class got the PLUGIN_ID string from the project name. So, during the plugin load, Eclipse could not load the Viewpoint Specification project and .odesign file correctly. After I changed PLUGIN_ID to the up to date project name, the problem disappears.
