Description Marc-André Laperle CLA 2016-12-06 08:34:10 EST
When creating an extension point, if one forgets to add the schema file to the build.properties, it will prevent a developer from using the Extension tab properly. After adding the extension in the Extension tab, right-clicking on the extension produces an exception and there is no context menu for adding an element. Just to be clear, this happens when the plugin is in the target platform and not imported for source (Git).

I suggest that there could be a warning when PDE detects that a schema file is not part of the build.properties. It happened several times in the past that people forgot to add it in our project.
