Hello,
I have implemented a new checker within the org.eclipse.cdt.codan.checkers plug-in project. The new checker is working perfectly, at least according to my needs, within my eclipse PDE IDE setup. I can execute and debug this custom codan.checkers plug-in and everything.
Most unfortunately when I export the org.eclipse.cdt.codan.checkers plug-in with the Deployable plug-ins and fragments option as Directory or as Archive file the resulting jar file or directory cannot be installed into another eclipse distribution. I have tried a lot of things without success. The only export which actually worked is the Install into host. Repository: option. But that is not a feasible solution.
The plug-in is not a feature so I think I cannot export it with the Deployable features option.
I tried to install the exported jar file by placing it into the targeted eclipse distribution's root/plugins or root/dropins folders. If eclipse is started with "eclipse -clean -console -consoleLog -debug .options" from the command prompt I get the following log messages when the jar file was in the dropins folder:

[plan] Some units will not be installed, because they are already installed or there are dependency issues:
[p2] Mon Dec 17 23:51:58 CET 2012 - [Start Level Event Dispatcher] [reconciler]
[plan] org.eclipse.cdt.codan.checkers 1.1.0.201212172336
[p2] Mon Dec 17 23:51:59 CET 2012 - [Start Level Event Dispatcher] [reconciler]
So according to the logs, my updated plug-in has the following issue: "Some units will not be installed, because they are already installed or there are dependency issues". But plug-ins cannot be uninstalled in eclipse and even if I exported the plug-in with all dependencies re-exported the installation failed the same way. So it seems to me that I cannot do anything against this error message... probably the fact that this checkers plug-in is a singleton has something to do with this already installed error but what can I do against it?
If I export the checkers project itself and import it to another eclipse PDE IDE setup where I do not have any other projects in the workspace except for the org.eclipse.cdt.codan.checkers plug-in I could still execute and debug the plug-in so there are possibly no unresolvable dependencies as the two PDE IDEs are the same.
I also tried to increment the version number of the project to differ from the already installed version with no success. I also tried to create an Update site project but again it turned out that only Features can be added to it, simple plug-ins are not accepted.
I am using eclipse 4.2.1 (Build id: M20120914-1800) with CDT 8.1.1.201209170703.
My CDT baseline is cloned from git repository branch cdt_8_1. The original checkers plug-in version is this: org.eclipse.cdt.codan.checkers_1.1.0.201209170703.jar
I have attached the modified org.eclipse.cdt.codan.checkers project to this forum entry for further reference.
Could somebody help me find a workaround or solution for this issue? What else could I try to get more details on the source of the problem?
Is it possible to force an update to my jar file using eclipse's osgi command prompt?
I tried to perform the update command but could not figure out what parameters the interface required :/
Did anybody else experienced same or similar issues?
