Deploying Eclipse plugin
Hi all,
I am using Eclipse 3.2 SDk to create "HelloWorld" plugin project using the Plug-in Development wizard. When I am running the pulgin project from within Eclipse, using the "Run as ... Eclipse application" it is working fine. But when I am trying to deploy, its not working. I am deploying the plugin by exporting the project as a .jar file, and placing the jar file along with plugin.xml inside ECLIPSE_HOME/plugin/com.ex ample.hell o_1.0.0, where com.example.hello is the plugin id and 1.0.0 is the version number. Can any body please point out what I am doing wrong here?????
Thanks in Advance

Hi
Thanks for ur reply...
The plugin that I have am trying to install will add a new menu group "Hello Action Group" and a new menu item "Hello Action" under it. It should also add a toolbar button. But nothing is happening.
And no error. Thats the most surprising thing. I checked in the configuration details and I can find a entry for my plugin dir, i.e. file:/{Eclipse_Home}/plugi ns/com.exa mple.hello . But I cannot find any entry for my plugin in the error log.
Thanks

Can you see tha plugin in the Eclipse? It is possible that Eclipse does not load it correctly.

No i cannot see it listed under "Plug-in Details".
Then you probably did not install it properly. Try to reinstall it or restart Eclipse.
The jar file should go into ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins folder.
the jar file name should be <id>_version.jar. In your case, it should be com.example.hello_1.0.0.ja r

Can you try installing it through eclipse, and not just puting the jar in the plugins folder?
Try going into Help -> Software updates and install the plug-in from there by specifying the directory that contains the plug-in's files. Restart Eclipse after that's done.

How are you exporting it?
