extension points distribution [message #329154]

Hi,
I have troubles with the distribution configuration of my plug-ins. I
defined several extension-points and did some extensions for them within
my own code. Now I want to provide other developers the capability to do
so as well, but I have problems to access (Plug-in Manifest Editor | New
Extension...) them once the plug-ins are installed.
Is there something special I have to take into account for plug-in/
feature configuration!?

Thanks, Tom.

Wasn't sure about the newsgroup jdt - pde - platform!?

While I'm not 100% sure if it's the only way, the eclipse SDK ships the
schema files in the source plugins. Without the schema files (which are
not normally included in your development plugins) all you'll get is the
generic XML sections in the PDE Editor.

I'm not sure if it's good enough to simply put the schema directory in
your binary plugin, or if you really do need a source plugin as well.
