[cdt-dev] Unable to find plug-in: org.eclipse.cdt.build.core_0.0.0

[Nathan Ridge <zeratul976@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Recently the following error has started to appear for me when I try to prepare an updated build of CDT with 'Export Features':

  'Export Features' has encountered a problem.

  Processing inclusion from feature org.eclipse.cdt.platform: 
  Unable to find plug-in: org.eclipse.cdt.build.core_0.0.0. 
  Please check the error log for more details.

(There are however no more details in the error log.)

This seems to have been introduced by this commit:

    Bug 481978 - Big overhaul of new build system to work with Qt.
    
    Moved new build system to it's own plug-ins. Cleaned up the root
    build configuration and toolchain classes and use them for Qt local
    run builds. Also hooks Qt local run launch delegate to launch target
    manager and associated delegate interface.

What can we do to fix it?

Thanks,
