Why didn my XMLBuddy install work?
XMLBuddy uses the simple install procedure of unzipping the plug-in folder into the eclipse/plugins folder, as it has for several years. Unfortunately, Eclipse 3.0 has broken this procedure in several ways. 1. On some platforms, notably Windows 2000, adding a folder inside the plugins folder doesn’t change the plugins folder mod date. Consequently, Eclipse doesn’t notice the change at all. 2. Eclipse 3.0 doesn’t notice any changes within a particular plug-in folder. This has forced us to use different version numbers for the free and Pro versions of XMLBuddy, so we don’t do that any more, but you may run into the problem if you try to modify a plug-in in place. The cure is the same in both cases. Restart Eclipse with the -clean option on the command line. (Note that as of Eclipse 3.1M5, you can no longer delete the entire configurations folder. You must preserve at least the config.ini file.
