Alright, I tried to get my plug-in to run in WDSC.
I did all that I can think of the get the Equnoix plug-ins that are part of
Eclipse 3.3 installed into my WDSC. They seem to install but my plug-in
DOES NOT run.
There are no issues running my plug-in on an Eclipse 3.3 workbench.
Can any IBMers offer suggestions? I have 2 customers that have a
requirement to use WDSC and refactoring my plug-in down to 3.2 is not an
option.
My plug-in uses the following extension points
org.eclipse.core.resources.builders
org.eclipse.core.resources.natures
org.eclipse.core.resources.markers
org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus
org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages
org.eclipse.core.runtime.preferences
org.eclipse.ui.propertyPages
org.eclipse.ui.newWizards
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.classpathContainerPage
org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpathContainerInitializer
org.eclipse.ui.actionSets
org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry.servlets
My plugin has the following dependencies specified:
org.eclipse.ui,
org.eclipse.core.runtime,
org.eclipse.core.resources,
org.eclipse.jdt.core,
org.eclipse.ui.ide,
org.eclipse.jdt.ui,
javax.servlet,
org.eclipse.equinox.http.jetty,
org.eclipse.equinox.http.registry,
org.eclipse.ui.console,
org.eclipse.jdt.launching,
org.apache.ant

Thank you for the link.
While it indicates that it can be plugged into a 3.2 workbench, the 3.3
distribution already includes it AND a Jetty container.
This is NOT simple stuff. While this may have help me awhile ago, 3.3
provided me with all of the stuff on the link. The only things my plug-in
had to extend were already in the supplied distribution. I'm not about to
rework my plug-in into two incompatible versions nor am I going to rework a
WDSC/RDi workbench when 3.3 has been GA since June of last year and 3.4 is
getting close.
Eclipse is free, RDi is not. RDi needs to offer value over what is free and
currently available as well as EVERYTHING in the free and current codebase.
IBM is intimately involved and even running most aspects of the 3.3 and 3.4
development efforts. For the prices charged, their "value added" packages
should always be up to date.
I do appreciate the link. I have no idea why it never popped up in all of
my googleling.
Chris

Again, what specifically is required from 3.3?
Again, the Equinox wrapped Jetty servlet container. 3.2 does not provide
a workbench servlet container.
This isn't the project you're referring to?
