Re: [udig-devel] loading external plugin - help

It is just a plugin. But the dropins are simply ignored.

I did add the .options file to better debug, but it went the same. The
plugin is not seen.
I tried to di a bit deeper.
All I could find is that the list of plugins to be loaded are kept in:
udig\configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info
If I add the plugin there manually (should not be done!), it is finally loaded.
I am quite sure that to be loaded properly through the dropins and p2
system, some plugins are missing in udig and also an entry in p2.inf.
Anyways I am not yet sure which ones.
If there is a p2 ninja around, please help. I think the dropins engine
is a very good way to extend uDig in a quick way.
Cheers,
Andrea
