I added the plugin to the RCP app's dependencies which sucessfully resolves compile time errors.  One thing I noticed is that the icon next to the api plugin isdifferent from the icons for the other dependencies.  The icon next to my plugin appears as a file folder while the icons next to the other plugins appear as a modified jar icon.  I can click on the other dependencies and expand their hierarchy but cannot do that for my api plugin.  This leads me to believe that I'm missing something in the building of my api plugin.  I've added the plugin to the run profile but that still does not help.

That's just the difference between target platform plugin (jars) and a 
plugin that's actually in your workspace (non-expandable folder).


The most common cause of plugin_0.0.0 missing is having an existing 
launch config for your app, and then adding the plugin to the 
dependencies of your application.  In this case you would need to go 
back and add the plugin to your launch configuration as well.
