Default Plugin menu items - 03-27-2008, 04:24 AM

Hi friends,

I'd like to develop a Rich Client application which accepts several plugins as extension. Currently I tried the following:

I created two similar plug-in projects which have the same settings:
- Create a Java project: yes
- Target platform: 3.3
- Generate an activator: yes
- This plug-in will make contributions to the UI: yes
- RCP application: yes
- Based on the Hello RCP template

I added a product configuration to both of them. Each of them got an actionSet as well. Just the label of the actionSet and the unerlying action is different.

Once everything is done, I deploy both plugins to the same directory. The result is an exe-file "eclipse.exe" and a subfolder "plugins" which contains both plugins. Plus some more folders and some more plugins and other files. If I start "eclipse.exe" I do always get the menu of the plugin, which was deployed at last. Why not both menus?

In case I copy both plugin-jar-files in the plugin directory of the eclipse IDE (for Java development) and I restart eclipse with the parameter "-clean" I see both menus in the eclipse IDE.

What do I have to do, to see them both in my standalone application ???

Thanks for your help!

Regards, Eric
