Hi,
I'm not sure this is the right place to ask, but here goes: I'm creating an Eclipse plugin for a language called gbeta, and it's working quite well with IMP. So far I have a working plugin for the language that provides syntax highlight using the token colourer (one step at a time :) ). Exporting the plugin was a bit of a poser, but (thanks to Bob) it finally works. So now I have two ways of "providing" the plugin: running it as an Eclipse application (meaning two Eclipses running - not a fan) and dropping the .jar in the eclipse/dropins folder (much better). But what we'd _really_ like is an update site - although as far as I understand update sites don't dump anything in the dropins folder. So my question is really how to create an update site?
I haven't got much experience with creating update sites (this being my first), but have read some instructions here and there, and as far as I can see I have to create a feature(.xml) that provides the plugin, lists its dependencies (IMP), and then a site.xml file. But what is the structure of the update site? My guess is:
gbeta_updatesite/
|-- artifacts.jar
|-- content.jar
|-- features
| |-- dk.au.cs.gbeta_1.0.0.jar
|-- plugins
| |-- gbIDE_1.0.1.jar
|-- site.xml
but this doesn't work properly. It can be found as an update site (so I guess no problem with site.xml), but the plugin doesn't work. First and foremost I get the following error (which I think is due to the token colourer's dependency on org.eclipse.swt)

As an aside, the plugin doesn't work if it's just dumped in the eclipse/plugins folder - anyone have a quick explanation for this?
Wow, this turned into a long post, but I hope this doesn't put anyone off reading it! I'll be happy to provide more detail, just let me know...
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
