I've got my site up with a site.xml, and it's finding my jar file with the
feature.xml file in it.
Problem is, when I click the Install Now button it goes through the install
and acts like everything works, yet my plugin stuff doesn't get added to
c:\eclipse\plugins\<new folder for my plugin>. It does get added to the
features folder which appears to be just a place it looks to see if the
plug-in has been installed.
I have a local website setup in IIS at localhost\eclipse which has my
site.xml file in it, and a features dir where the jar file is that has just
a feature.xml and feature.properties in it.
here's my feature.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feature
id="com.foo.myscm"
label="SCM Team plug-in for Windows"
version="2.1.0"
provider-name="Foo SCM"
os="win32"
ws="win32">
<license url="http://127.0.0.1/eclipse/license.htm">
%license
</license>
<requires>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.core.resources"/>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.core.runtime"/>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.team.core"/>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.team.ui"/>
<import plugin="org.eclipse.ui"/>
</requires>
<plugin id="com.foo.myscm" version="2.1.0" />
My problem is, I don't understand how it looks for the jar file that it
needs to install from my plugin tag. The Help says it will look in
plugins\com.foo.myscm_2.1.0.jar, but I have that directory in both my
localhost\eclipse dir and localhost\eclipse\features and it still don't seem
to be adding my plugin.
Anyone got any ideas?
On a related note, is there help somewhere that I can use if I decide to
implement my own install-handler? I guess the org.eclipse.update classes are
the ones I would use, but they don't really explain how to setup the
updater. The help makes it sound like I build my install-updater, package it
in a jar, then package that jar inside my feature .jar. Does that sound
right?
Thanks,
harpstein

It looks like the feature was install but not its plugin. Do you see any
errors in c:\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.log ?
Your update site should have a layout along these lines:
<update site>
site.xml (here you list the feature)
features
com.foo.myscm_2.1.0.jar (this is the feature)
plugins
com.foo.myscm_2.1.0.jar (this is the plugin)
This article:
http://eclipse.org/articles/Article-Update/keeping-up-to-dat e.html should
give more details on how to do the packaging.
