Hi all,

I am working on Eclipse XML Editor extensions.
I have downloaded source from Eclipse CVS.

If I run it from inside Eclipse everything is fine.
So I decided to try an export.

I worked on org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.
I used the Export Wizard, I generated the JAR and then copied the output JAR inside eclipse/plugins folder but it does not work. What I means is that my plugin (which has the same name of the original one: org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui) is not loaded.

How can I solve it?

Thanks
Marco

copying a plug-in into the plugins folder does not work, because p2 is not aware of this. Using the dropins folder should work. the new plug-in should have a higher version number than the old one.

I tried to copy org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.jar (with version number and qualifier) inside dropins folder by it does not work.

If I go to Help->About Eclipse and then look for XML editor I see that the plugin org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui.jar is still the old one.

It simply load the default XML editor, not the mine.
IF I delete (or rename) the default plugin from /plugins folder and maintain my plugin in /dropins folder then if I right click on an XML file I do not have XML Editor option.

I also tried with -debug and -clean in eclipse.ini but I have no relevant entries about my plug-in

I also noticed this thing: plug-in org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui has as prerequisites plug-in org.eclipse.wst.xml.iu [1.0.0, 1.2.0.)

Actually my plug-in org.eclipse.xml.ui has versio number 2.0.0+qualifier, could this be the reason?
Btw, I also tried to give a version number 1.2.0 but it doesn't work as well.


Thanks
Marco
