[pde-build-dev] Re: RE Missing required plugin-in....

["Peter Kahn" <citizenkahn@xxxxxxxxx>]

So, I'm running into two problems, the missing warnings and the
failure to locate the plugin.     It seems to me that this can be
caused by a few possible problems:
    -the build process is looking in the wrong location for plugin B
    -the settings of the feature are incorrect
    -the settings for the plugin are incorrect

If either of the settings problems are my problem, then this could
cause the build process to fail to find the plugin because B isn't the
B its looking for.

Am I right in believing the following about the build process?

In order for the build to seek the feature's plugins the following must be true:
- buildDirectory must be set to the ROOT of the structure below
- baseLocation must be set to a similar root containing all 3rd party
plugins and features
- the plugin must be imported as a requirement in the feature.xml
   <requires>
      <import plugin="A"/>
      <import plugin="B"/>
      ...

- the plugin must be defined in the feature.xml
  <plugin
         id="A"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="1.0.0"
         unpack="false"/>
  <plugin
         id="B"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="1.0.0"
         unpack="false"/>

- the plugin's bundle must be defined in the MANIFEST in
ROOT\plugings\{bundle}\META_INF\MANIFSET.MF
      Bundle-SymbolicName: A
      Requires-Bundle: B,
            org.eclipse...
