Re: [buckminster-dev] replace a plugin in buckminster

[Achim Demelt <a.demelt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm, that's strange. I did the same thing with a patched version of JDT, and 
it worked nicely. You may want to peek into the bundles.info file in the 
configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/ directory of your 
Buckminster installation. There you can see which version of the bundle is 
known to p2. I assume the version number of your self-built bundle is higher 
than the original one, right?
