Description DJ Houghton

build F1 on WinXP.
IBM JRE 1.3.1

PDE assumes that a plugin's output is in the /bin folder.
I created a new plugin and set the source folder to be /src and the output 
folder to be /output and it could not find my classes to load.

Presumably this is because we are automatically running "-dev bin". 
Should we be adding the output folders from each project?

Is it even possible? I know we are making a simplifying assumption here, but I 
would not like to complicate matters here if not needed. If you have 
heterogeneous situation (some plug-ins use 'out', some 'output', some who knows 
what), what would the argument look like?

I believe that the argument for the -dev command line parameter is a comma-
separated list of paths.

It should be in that running.html document...if I can find it. :-)

OK, not too hard to scan the projects and collect a list of unique output 
directories.

Fixed.  
Code has been released in HEAD.
Also, the new plug-in project creation wizard allows you now to name the build 
output folder anything you want.

Hi,

I'm using build 200210150832 of Eclipse 2.1 and I had my output folder set to 
target/ and it was not working. Took me quite a long time to reach this bug 
report ...

I have not used the plugin wizard to create my plugin (is that a requirement?).

It doesn't seem this bug is fixed in CVS head or there is something I don't 
understand.

Thanks
-Vincent
