Hi Jonathan - Sometime back around Eclipse version 3, the organization of plugins was upgraded to follow more closely that of the OSGi framework. As part of this, the attributes such as id, version, etc., were moved from the plugin.xml to the MANIFEST.MF file.
So - it is correct not to see the these as part of the <plugin> .. elements in the plugin.xml. Please try without doing the filling in reasonable values, and let us know what happens. -Marshall jonathan doklovic wrote: > I did a revert on my plugin.xml changes and then an svn update. > The plugin.xml came back with blanks for all field under general > information on the first plugin page. > > I filled in reasonable values, then opened up the caseditor.product and > tried to do an export. > > After filling in the destination and clicking export, I get an error > that says: The products defining plugin could not be found. > > If you look at: > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/uima/sandbox/trunk/CasEditor/plugin.xml > > You can see the plugin tag has no attributes. > > I am using eclipse 3.3.1.1 on openSuse Linux. > eclipse has all the uima plugins installed including the runtime. > > Thanks, > > - Jonathan > > On Thu, 2007-12-13 at 23:53 +0100, Jörn Kottmann wrote: > >>> I would like to test out the CASEditor in the sandbox. >>> I've checked out the project, but I can't seem to build the plugin. >>> >> Which eclipse version do you have installed? >> What is the exact error message ? >> >> >>> The plugin xml didn't have the id, name or version >>> >> Thats sounds odd to me, I checked the plugin.xml in the head svn and >> it contains >> the version, id and name. >> >> >>> so I filled those in, >>> and now when I try to export the plugin from the plugin xml editor, it >>> tells me it can't find junit or uima runtime even though they are >>> listed >>> as plugin-dependencies in my project. >>> >> You should export the plugin from the caseeditor.product editor >> with "Eclipse Product Export Wizard". >> >> The export only works if the org.apache.uima.runtime plugin is installed >> inside your eclipse installation. >> >> Please ask here again if you encounter more problems. >> >> BTW, its on my agenda to create a release candidate as soon >> as possible for the Cas Editor. >> >> Jörn >> > > >
