Build Identifier: 20120216-1857 I am working on a Plugin Development project. I need to convert my exsising project as Plug-in project, and finally export it as plug-in and deploy it in the eclipse. I have searched the online documentation, and I came across this URL, http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.pde.doc.user%2Fguide%2Ftools%2Fpde_actions%2Fconvert_projects.htm I can see teh "PDE Tools" in the context menu, but, "Converting Java Projects to Plug-in Projects " this wizard is not visible at all. That "PDE Tools" too is visible after installing the "PDE Plus" update. I request; please try to fix it and provide for the update/ download. so that the development can move smoothly. Thanks Rishi Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a Java Project 2. Right Click, no "PDE Tools " is visible in context menu. Get the update for "PDE PLUS" from market place. Restart. the "PDE Tools" is visible 3. get into the "PDE Tools", the wizard ""Converting Java Projects to Plug-in Projects " is not visible.
I tried the steps (minus the PDE plus update) and also did not see the 'PDE Tools' on a standard Java project using: Version: 4.2.0 Build id: I20120603-1910 on Win 7 and Linux
Looks like that page is out of date. The convert project to plug-in menu item is available in the 'Configure' menu of java projects.
The screenshot on that page, along with the task wizards page need to be updated for the move to the menus extension point.
Fixed in master. Updated the text on all the pde tasks pages and screenshots where necessary.
