Hi all,
After looking into the deepest part of the workbench i can't figure out
why my Feature is not displayed in the Help -> About Eclipse -> Faeture
Details table !!!
My feature is correctly installed == all my plugins are here and works
perfectly.
I tried installing the feature by copying features and plugins
respectively in features and plugins directories and i also tried to
install trough Help -> Software Update -> manage Configuration from a
given directory containing my feature and a .eclipseextension file.
Nothing to do.
In both cases after installing the feature i can see it in Help ->
Software Update -> Manage Configuration without any warning but i can't
see it in Help -> About Eclipse -> Faeture Details table ....
Any help is welcome
Thanks in advance
Manu

To make the viPlugin appear in my Help > About dialog, I edited the
feature.xml file thus:
--- feature.xml 2008-03-03 10:48:31.000000000 -0500
+++ feature.xml.fixed 2008-03-03 10:48:19.000000000 -0500

The other way to make this work appears to be having a branding plugin
for your feature, as platform's source features do (eg., jdt.source)
features/org.eclipse.jdt.source_3.4.0.v20080204-1800-7o7qEFD EFpPqiqYydmCVKgP
plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.source_3.3.0.v20080204-1800.jar
Note that the versions don't match here, but the ids do. Have a look
inside that jar to see what is needed by Eclipse in order to display
feature info.
Should you want to know how to display a different icon than the
standard Eclipse one, look at the features of a project you have
installed that provides a different icon in the Help > About dialog. For
example: anything from the Modeling project, Subclipse, ShellEd (a great
shell script editor, by the by), Mylyn ...

Ed,
Yes i know for the donation ;o) !!!
The choice "workspace features (simulated normal startup)" doesn't work
for me, it displays the following error message :
The workspace is not set up properly for this option. Plug-ins must be in
'plugins' directory, and features in 'features' directory.
Concerning the branding plug-in i changed my feature ID to match my core
plug-in ID and added an about.ini and about.properties file in this
plug-in and it works.
Everything is ok ;o) !!!
I 'll start an other thread on source feature ...
Manu
