deployed plugin versus PDE runtime behavior of plugins... [message #201500]

I'm running into the weirdest plugin issue I've ever encountered so far
while developing eclipse plugins. Here is the scenario - for the moment it
does not even matter what this plugin does:

a plugin is installed the usual way, and we start eclipse with a new
workspace. In this workspace, the plugin in question shows faulty behavior.
Now, use PDE to start a runtime workbench from the instance already running.
Try the same plugin in this runtime workbench, and voila.... it works
properly.........?????????? The workspace of the host has no plugin code in
it, so the exact same installed plugin is being used in the runtime
workbench. Yet it fails in the host, and works in the runtime. How can that
be? I tried both the run as application and run product. How do I even begin
to debug something like this (since it works in the runtime/debug workspace
but not when installed)? Any ideas welcome!

Thanks,

Frank

You need to be more specific here. Most of the time these problems are
caused by different class paths or by incorrect handling of URLs referring
to locations in the plugin folder.
