eclipse dropins not working #269

Open ahoehma opened 6 years ago

ahoehma commented 6 years ago

Maybe I'm wrong but I figured out that my STS 4.0.0M10 doesn't load plugins from eclipse dropins folder.

I created a folder "dropins" in the root directory of my eclipse installation. I copied my plugin to dropins. I started sts (with and without -clean) No error ... but also no plugin :)

I can installed and run the plugin from the osgi console without any problem.

I didn't try this with a "normal" brand new eclipse.

Was there something changed in sts?

I vaguely remember a discussion about removing the support for the dropins folder from the platform (on the Eclipse side), but I am not sure what the status on that is. Maybe this changed in Photon? Can you double check using a plain Eclipse Photon milestone to see if that behaves differently? I will try to find that discussion thread.

Can't find any more details about the deprecation of the dropins support, but maybe this helps to find out what is going wrong:
