[eclipse-dev] Fragments and extensions

["Walter Harley" <wharley@xxxxxxx>]

I am trying to work on two fragments at once.

Fragment "A" has as its parent org.eclipse.jdt.core.
Fragment "B" contains test code to test fragment A, and has as its
parent org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.compiler.

I would like fragment A to expose an extension point
"org.eclipse.jdt.core.foo"; and I would like fragment B to contribute to
that extension point.

Fragment A builds fine.  However, I am getting a build error when I try
to build fragment B; it is complaining that the extension point
(org.eclipse.jdt.core.foo) does not exist.

It may just be something stupid I'm doing; I'm a newbie.  But I wonder
if the problem is that, until I actually deploy fragment A, the B
project can't see the new extension point?  In other words, *should*
this be working, or am I asking too much?  What is the right way to test
an extension point exposed in a fragment??

Thanks!
