Re: [mylyn-dev] adding new plug-ins

[Ian Bull <irbull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not a Mylyn committer, so this might not be accurate in your case, but you seem to have missed the step: add the plugin to a feature. (You do mention generating source, but that's different).

In most workflows (and again, Mylyn may be different), if you do not "include" a plug-in in a feature it will not be fetched during build time, and it won't be pulled in during a p2 provisioning operation.  If the plug-in is a platform specific fragment, it's important to set the filters too.

Other than that, your steps are similar to the steps I would expect from any project adding new plug-ins.

Sorry to bother you guys if this doesn't apply to Mylyn, just thought I would bring it up in-case that step was missed.

cheers,

ian

Committers,

since there has been some confusion about the necessary steps for
adding plug-ins to the project I have created a section in the
contributor's reference:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/Contributor_Reference#Creating_new_plug-ins
.

Please feel free to update the list of steps in case I missed something.

Steffen
