Using eclipse 3.4. My plugin works fine when I launch it from eclipse. I do an export "Deployable plugins and fragments", to a dir, everything seems fine. But when I go to Help->Install Updates and then add the directory (local button) to sites, there doesn't seem to be any features to install under it. What am I doing wrong here?

(if I export as zip, then point update manager to the archive, it tells me "no repository found at jar:file:/home/beavis/myplugin.zip!/.)

You need to create a feature and export it too.

Create a feature project. Add your plug-ins to it. Now Export this feature. The Install shall
recognize the feature and install it to your Eclipse installation.
