java - No response after installing my own eclipse plugin -


recently have developed eclipse plugin, exported plugin method "export">"deployable plug-ins , fragments", after got .jar plugin , , put ~/eclipse/plugins, plugin has shown in eclipse. of workmates have no response after put ~/eclipse/plugin, of them can while can't. ones use adt-bundle install plugin have no response. have changed build jar method to: "export"> "jar file", failed. build jar method wrong or install method jar wrong?

first guess colleagues have dependency issues prevents plugin loading. easy check:

"help" -> "about" -> "installation details", click on tab "configuration". see list containing entries such as;

org.apache.commons.io (2.0.1.v201105210651) "apache commons io" [resolved] org.apache.commons.lang (2.6.0.v201205030909) "apache commons lang" [resolved] org.apache.commons.logging (1.1.1.v201101211721) "apache commons logging plug-in"    [resolved] org.apache.felix.gogo.command (0.10.0.v201209301215) "apache felix gogo command" [active] 

search id of plugin. couple of things can happen here:

  1. you dont find plugin @ in list. means never found @ all. copying jar plugins dir not recommended way install plugin , can fail. best alternative create update site, , let colleagues install that. regardless of issue, should do. don't worry, easy , can done pretty eclipse wizard.
  2. the plugin in list, has state "[installed]". means found prevented starting. due missing dependencies. see here.
  3. the plugin has state "[resolved]". dependencies ok, reason hasn't been started. perhaps used menu/view isn't enabled in adt perspective?
  4. state "[active]" means running. if cant seen ui parts aren't enabled or visible.

also see my answer here

regardless of issue , solution, suggest install plugin creating update site. guaranteed way work. dependency issues seen immediately. copying plugin folder not correct way , dropins folder aren't guaranteed work. (i have feeling deprecated, cant find offical source that)
