Extension point not found [message #267651]

I have a plugin that declares an extension point and a second plugin that
makes a contribution to the extension point in the first plugin. If I run
the plugins in the runtime workbench, the extension point is found and
everything works. If I export the plugins as an archive and install them,
the extension point is no longer found. The plugin.xml in the plugin
folder shows the extension point and the schema is inlcluded in the plugin
as well. When I make a call to
Platform.getExtensionRegistry().getExtensionPoint(id), it returns null in
the standard workbench. It returns the expected extension point in the
runtime workbench.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Derek

This may help: eclipse -clean
Do you see any messages in the log?
What do you see in Window>Show View>Other..>PDE Runtime>Plug-in Registry?
Is your plug-in really loaded?

This is weird. The plugin was loaded and the extension point was listed.
Also, the contribution from the other plugin showed up. I changed the
ExtensionRegistry call to use namespace and id rather than the full id,
and everything works. Not sure what the difference would be.

Thanks for your help!
