Re: [pde-dev] Plugin not started [SOLVED]

Glad we could help.  As for documentation,
there is some information on the tags of the build file, but not anything
as in-depth as you would like.  You can find it in the Help Contents
under Plug-in Development Environment Guide > Reference > Feature
and Plug-in Build configuration.

If you have any further questions about
the build that aren't answered in the documentation, go ahead and post
them here and we can see if we can answer them.

I don't know, what this building mechanism is all about! I opened the 
build.properties file and activated the "custom build" option.
Now  it 
works!!

Thanks a lot, that hint was the key!

Do you have a link where I can read/learn more about this build mechanism?

Thanks and greets

Boris
