I have created a test plug-in, feature and update site. I have been
able to verify these items by using the update dialogs to add the test
feature from the test update site to my running Eclipse IDE.
My problem is that I have a base RCP application, no views or editors,
with only a menu for accessing the the ConfigurationManagerAction and
FindInstallAction. When I attempt to update the app as I did above, the
Install dialog displays an error when I select the feature:
"TestFeature (1.0.1) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.ui"."
The org.eclipse.ui plug-in exists as the app will not start without it,
so I know it is being resolved during startup. Is it possilbe it is
resolved at startup but not loaded so the feature installation is unable
to resolve that it exists?
I'm stuck, so any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
tim

BTW, I'm curious what Pampered Chef (I have one of their fine cookie
pans) is doing with Eclipse.

Nick,
I believe you're refering to the last item in this FAQ. I think I saw
an earlier post where you referenced this. I read it but am not sure
that I understand it correctly.
I thought that a feature marked as requiring an eclipse plug-in would
verify this existed on the client before being installed BUT it appears
that the eclipse plug-in must exist on the update site as part of that
feature instead. Is that correct?
I updated my feature to explicitly include the eclipse plug-ins and
refreshed the update site. Now the update from the site works
correctly. Can you explain why I had to include the eclipse plug-ins in
the feature when updating my test RCP application but not when updating
my IDE?
thanks,
tim
