Hi Everyone,

I would be grateful if someone could help me with the following issue:

I made two plugins A and B. B defines an application and A just makes
contributions in the UI. I exported these plugins as an RCP product.

When I ran the exported product, the application started and everything
seemed fine except that there were no UI extensions made by the plugin
A. Later, when I tried to elaborate in the console with the help of 'ss'
command I found out that the A plugin had not started at all. My further
attempts to set @start option in the config.ini for the plugin A did not
lead to any success. Everything starts just fine when running from the
IDE using launch configuration. But in exported product it doesn't.

Would anybody suggest what might be problematic?

Thanks,
Ivan

Is the plugin.xml part of your build.properties?

Hi Tom,

Yes! You are absolutely right. I added it in the build.properties and
everything started working.

The platform hadn't recognized the bundle as a plug-in, I suppose.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Ivan

No. This does not matter but without the plugin.xml you are not
contributing anything. A plug-in does not necessarily have to have a
plugin.xml

Yes, that I should have guessed myself. :)

Thanks,
