Thanks Jeff for having a look at my problem.
I unjarred the three feature files (org.apache.ibatis.abator_1.1.0.jar) into a
newly created directory org.apache.ibatis.abator_1.1.0 in my external feature
directory. Unfortunately this doesn't work for me as the error in the log file
is now: "No repository found at
<myExternalDirectory>/ibator/eclipse/.eclipseextension".
Is it wrong what I did or can you describe it more precisely what you did to
make it work? I'm verifying ibator to be present just by looking into Eclipse
help where it should be visible, shouldn't it?
My external directory now looks like this:
ibator
eclipse
features
org.apache.ibatis.abator_1.1.0
feature.xml
LICENSE
NOTICE
LICENSE.txt
NOTICE.txt
plugins
org.apache.ibatis.abator.core_1.1.0.jar
org.apache.ibatis.abator.doc_1.1.0.jar
org.apache.ibatis.abator.ui_1.1.0.jar
site.xml
Again, thanks for you're help.
