Description Max Hohenegger

There are many erros shown in the Error Log View of Eclipse IDE that the feature.xml is missing in the plugins inside the target platform.
Here is one example:

eclipse.buildId=M20110909-1335
java.version=1.6.0_29
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=de_DE
Framework arguments:  -product org.eclipse.epp.package.modeling.product
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.modeling.product

This occurs when the content of the update-site is dropped into the target platform. The features need to be unpacked! What happens otherwise is that Eclipse is looking for a feature.xml file but only finds the jar file. Unzipping all the jar files solves the problem.
