[pde-ui-dev] Programmatically added dependencies to plugin.xml don't se

[Rajeev Sikka <sikkar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, 

I am using the PDE mechanism where code can be generated using templates
(similar to the HelloWorld plugin). As part of this, in the 'updateModel'
method, I am adding dependencies to the plugin.xml. Here is the code snippet:

IPluginBase plugin = model.getPluginBase();
IPluginModelFactory factory = model.getFactory();
               
IPluginImport importEntries = factory.createImport();
importEntries.setId("org.eclipse.emf.ecore");
plugin.add(importEntries);

However, I notice that the entry does
get added, but its not taking effect. In the sense that the corresponding
.classpath is NOT updated and also in my java code if I add the above import,
it complains as if the dependency does not exist. Whats weird is that if
I manually delete this dependency (Dependencies tab, right click, Delete)
and add it back (Dependencies tab, Add button) and then save the plugin.xml,
then the .classpath gets updated and the dependency seems to take effect

Any idea whats going on? Is there any
additional step that I need to do after programmatically adding the dependency
so that it takes effect?

Thanks
Rajeev
