It is just a plugin. But the dropins are simply ignored. > Andrea can you experiment with the ".options" tracing options for the > eclipse plugin loading? Maybe turning on a few more options will give you > more useful logs? 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.
