Description Max Hohenegger CLA 2012-02-03 11:48:17 EST 
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

Error
Fri Feb 03 17:28:47 CET 2012
Unable to find feature.xml in directory: [...]emfstoreAndECP\features\org.eclipse.emf.ecp.navigatoreditorbridge.feature_0.8.9.M920.jar
Comment 1 Max Hohenegger CLA 2012-02-07 04:51:47 EST 
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.
