Re: [eclipse-dev] Plug-in Development "enabling" on upgrade

Timothy,

A little bit of PDE user guide reading would do a lot. Read the section
about self-hosting. You will find about two styles (simple and binary
project self-hosting). If you use simple, you can enable external plug-ins
from the PDE preference pages (Target Platform). The warning message is
there to remind you that you didn't do it. In case of binary project
self-hosting, you need to import plug-ins you need into the workspace as
binary projects. This is all well explained in the User Guide.

Is there a way to "enable stuff" needed for plug-in development when you
install Eclipse from scratch?

My group has to:
(1) Use the wizard to create a "junk" hello world plug-in, so we get the
"plug-ins are needed for this to compile properly, etc" dialog---then we
have to exit Eclipse (since this rarely works without an exit).
(2) Delete "junk" project
(3) Load our plug-ins from CVS

Is there a better way, via the property sheets or something, we missed?

Thanks,
