Hi!

I have 2 plugin project, one is a RCP application, it defines an extension
point, the other is an "normal" plugin, it defines an extension.

My problem is, when I run the application in eclipse ide environment, it's
OK, the RCP application can dect the extension defined by the plugin,
because in the run configuration I specified launch with these 2 plugin. But
when I export the RCP application to an directory, and also export the
normal plugin to the target plugin directory, then I launch the RCP
application(even if with -clean parameter), the extension contributed by the
normal plugin was not found, it seems the normal plugin was not loaded.
What's wrong in my case?

The MANIFEST.MF of the normal plugin as following:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: Cosumer Plug-in
Bundle-SymbolicName: net.yau.test.extensionreg.cosumer;singleton:=true
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Bundle-Activator: net.yau.test.extensionreg.cosumer.Activator
Require-Bundle: org.eclipse.ui,
org.eclipse.core.runtime,
net.yau.test.extensionreg.master;bundle-version="1.0.0"
Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6
Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy

PS: I am use Eclipse 3.4.

Thanks!
Yau

Make sure your plug-in is getting installed.
Look at the osgi.bundles property in your
eclipse/configuration/config.ini file.

Generally there are 3 patterns here:
1) All bundles in your product are listed here, make sure your plugin is
in the list.

2) org.eclipse.update.configurator is in the list, it takes care of
scanning the plugins directory and installing what it finds there

3) org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator is in the list, it reads the
bundles.info file specified with the
org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator.configUrl property. That
explicitly lists out the bundles that will be installed.

Thanks for your detailed reply! You are right. The problem is the
org.eclipse.update.configurator plugin was not defined in the my product's
plugin list.
Thank you very much!

I have an other problem, that is the return value of
IConfigurationElement.getAttribute() was not translated.

First, in the extension point shema declaration, I specified
translatable="true" for one attribute("name").
2nd, I specify "%xxx" for the value of "name" attribute in the normal
plugin's extension declaration, and in normal plugin, I created
plugin.properties file and wrote one line xxx=yyyy.
3, When I run the RCP application and call
IConfigurationElement.getAttribute("name"), it return "%xxx" not "yyyy".

But the platform plug-in developer guide said: "Note that any translation
specified in the plug-in manifest file is automatically applied. ".

What's wrong?
