plugin not loaded when I include XSD dependency [message #48478]

I have a plugin that provides an XML editor which extends TextEditor. This
worked fine in Eclipse 2.x. Now that I've moved to Eclipse 3.0, I can no
longer get my editor to work. My editor provides schema completion, which
relies on the EMF and XSD plugins. If I remove those plugins from my plugin
dependencies, my editor comes up fine. Of course, when I trigger the schema
completion, I get a class not found exception in EMF. All of this makes
sense. But when I add my dependencies, (and I've tried this with multiple
versions of Eclipse, XSD, and EMF), as soon as I add either EMF or XSD or
both to my dependencies, and then start up my runtime workspace, my editor
is gone. There are no error messages of any kind - it's just missing. If I
put a break point in my plugin constructor, I never get there. If no one has
an answer for me, can you please tell me where to begin trying to debug
this?

THANK YOU!!! (note the sound of desperation)

Hi Karen,

Unfortunately, my psychic debugging skills don't compare to Ed's, so you
might have to wait a week until he gets back from JavaOne to get some better
advice.

My first thought is, might it just be the cached plug-in information in the
eclipse/configuration directory? That can sometimes make things fail when
the environment changes. Try removing that whole directory, and see if
things work better.

Otherwise, when you say there are no error messages of any kind, have you
tried looking in the workspace/.metadata/.log file?

I hope I'm not just suggesting the obvious.

Cheers,
Dave

Someone on the platform newsgroup led me to the osgi console, which turned
out to be a lifesaving debbugging aid. My plugin was installed but not
resolved due to unresolved emf.ecore and xsd plugins. By doing a "diag
[bundlenumber]" (in the osgi console) on my xsd plugin, I discovered that
the base emf plugin was missing. This was due simply to not having it
checked in my debug configuration. Ugh. In retrospect, it all seems so
obvious.

Thanks for your help!
