Hi developers, I am working on the dropins support for uDig, since it doesn't seem to work out of the box for the upcoming uDig 1.3.2.
The way to do that is to add the p2 reconcilier.dropins pluginto the depdendencies. I have tried that and the dropins are recongnised and loaded properly. The problem is that I am getting a whole bunch of missing plugins report. Doing some comparison on the missing plugins, I found that the reconcilier needs 144 additional equinox p2 related plugins to work without throwing the missing bundles exception. Also, if I load a plugin that actually depends on some p2 plugin (as for example BeeGIS' form editor, which depends on ui.ide, which depends on a couple of p2 plugins), those are not loaded due to the exceptions thrown on missing plugins. I am quite puzzled and need some ninja advice. What is the right path to walk here? Add those 144 plugins? Is there a way to declare some plugins optional without thinkering the original eclipse plugins? Thank, any advice is appreciated, Andrea _______________________________________________ User-friendly Desktop Internet GIS (uDig) http://udig.refractions.net http://lists.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/udig-devel
