[wtp-dev] How to test new plug-ins?

[Gary Karasiuk <karasiuk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having a real problem with the latest
driver trying to figure out how to test a patched plug-in.

I've downloaded and upzipped the latest
WTP driver and pre-req's. http://build.eclipse.org/webtools/committers/wtp-R3.0-S/20080516071848/S-3.0RC1-20080516071848/

I have an updated version of my plug-in
that I want to test, but I can't seem to get the driver to pick it up.
It has a later qualifier than the plug-in that is in the driver.
I've tried putting it in several different
places:

• eclipse/plugins
• eclipse/dropins
• eclipse/dropins/eclipse/plugins

but it won't get picked up and I don't
see any errors as to why not.  I wonder if it because my jar is not
signed??
(I'm running some performance tests
so I'd prefer not to run it from a development environment). 

Is this working for other people? Is
there some trick that I'm missing. (I have been using -clean).
