PackageManager 3.0.2 - Adding Plugins

Question

Hi,

I've programed a plugin for an installer package I am planning to use.I've used Apple's Package manager 2.4 (Tiger) before where I could right click packages (*pkg), navigate through the contents folder, create a plugins directory and paste my plugin plus the installersections.plist file. However in version 3.0 (Snow Leopard), I can't click on "Show Package Contents" to add my plugin, the option isn't there in finder.

How can I add plugins?Apple must have thought of some way to do this since this is still offered in Xcode 3?

Answer 1

It is possible, although tricky, to install plug-ins into a PackageMaker 3 bundle. You need to go to the Edit menu in PackageMaker and open the Flat Package Editor. Open your installer bundle, and insert the plug-in in the appropriate location as you would in the Finder with a 2.0 bundle.

Yes, it's a pain.
