I think the problem is caused by the
fact you did not use a fully qualified identifier in your feature. I think
it should be:
<install-handler
handler="YOUR_PLUGINID.installhandler.MyInstallHandler"/>
To debug:
Setup your development environment for
feature based self hosting. See the PDE tips and tricks for details, but
the basics are:
- your workspace is located in a folder
called "plugins", say, eclipse.exe -data c:\myworkspace\plugins
- import all the features and projects
in the workspace (binary is fine, but not linked projects).
- in the Run/Debug launcher, select
feature based self hosting on the Plugins tab
Add breakpoints on the InstallHandlerProxy
class in the org.eclipse.update.core plugin.

[platform-update-dev] Global Install
Handlers
I'm trying to work with global install handlers and I'm
stuck on how to exactly use them.
I have two install handlers defined in a plugin already installed.
<extension
id="installhandler"
name="MyInstallHandler"
point="org.eclipse.update.core.installHandlers">
<install-handler class="installhandler.MyInstallHandler"/>
<install-handler class="installhandler.NewInstallHandler"/>
</extension>
I have a feature containing the install handler reference:
<install-handler handler="installhandler.MyInstallHandler"/>
However, when I do an install of a feature, I get a dialog that popups
saying that Eclipse was unable to find
my custom install handler. Any advice on this issue would be appreciated.
Especially on how to debug this
stuff (breakpoints, etc...)
Cheers,
