Hi,
I am configuring customized plugins to support RCP development and I’ve got a problem when configuring the plugin JAR’s to the Eclipse plugin directory. (I create the plugin JAR’s using the standard “create from existing JARs”). All seems to go well, I can find them and incorporate them into my RCP project dependencies. The problem arises when I try to review the Eclipse configuration from the Software Updates/Manage Configuration dialog. I lose the ability to see anything in this view depending on where I place my plugins:

If I place my plugins in the eclipse directory I lose the Eclipse configuration
If I place my plugins int he MyEclipse/eclipse directory I lose the MyEclipse configuration.

Once I lose the ability to review the configuration, I can no longer update my configuration and I get an Update Manager internal error.

Am I not configuring my customized plugins correctly?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Cheers,
Carlos S. Zamudio

Carlos off the top of my head I don’t know, I’ll ask around the office if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks Riyad. I’m thinking that it must be related to how the plugin Manifest is used by either Eclipse or MyEclipse to validate the plugins in the plugin directory. Unfortunately, I have not been able to track down any documentation that describes this process. The Eclipse documentation makes it sound like you just create the plugin and drop it into the folder. (-; Thanks for your help.
