Description Szymon Brandys CLA 2011-02-10 17:55:30 EST
I have Orion from the eclipse.org repo. I followed the steps from http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/How_Tos/Installing_A_Plugin and it does not work. I just see Plug-In Registry > Plug-ins and nothing else underneath.

I tried on Firefox and IE 8.

There was a change in the plug-in communication protocol last week which breaks plugins using the old plugin.js for M5 and earlier. I wrote about this on the dev list earlier this week and there are details there that might help.

The API is not broken though so if you download a copy of Boris' HTML file and instead reference the new orion-eclipse-HEAD.js file you should be able to get things working.

If you just want a simple example install /upperPlugin.html or /lowerPlugin.html.

I'm having the same problem as Szymon. I can't install any plugins (tried upper, lower, and jslint). I also went to coding.html to see if the jslint plugin would be installed from there, but it wasn't. 

In fact there is nothing in Firefox's local storage at all... I expected to see some plugin data from Orion in there, but it's empty.

I re-tested and did git status to be sure. Works for me in FF 3.6, FF4, Chrome9/10, IE. I did notice lowerPlugin.html not updated so I did check that in. All I can think of is a caching problem. Ping me on IRC tomorrow if you're still having problems.

Plugin to install

I tried to install a plugin with Szymon. I am attaching the plugin we had porblems with (just a sample, we weren't trying to write anything useful). It uses orion-plugin-HEAD.js that you wrote about few days ago. This is probably not brawser related. I managed to install plugins on my local orion, but when I logged into Szymon's instance same plugins did not install. I noticed that it's rather all plugins install or none.

Plugin to install v2

I fixed the various script tags and can install this now. Put it in client.core/statics/gosia.html and then install /gosia.html

orion-plugin-HEAD.js is minified script that includes the contents of OAHub-all and plugin.js.

In this copy I've broken out the individual scripts and added dojo.

This works for me now using the latest client code.
Comment 9 John Arthorne CLA 2011-04-19 10:07:20 EDT
This works now.
