I wrote a Eclipse plugin for adding hungry-deletion, and it appears to work on my machine. However, I had a few friends try it, and it doesn't seem to load at all on their machines. The installation process is just to copy the resulting .jar to the plugins/ subdirectory of eclipse. I've tried re-installing eclipse on my machine and installing the plugin again, and that seems to work. Is there a signing process or something I have to go through for my plugin to work on different machines? If not, what could be the issue?

Have you tried starting eclipse w/ the -clean flag?

+ check the Eclipse configuration at your friends' machine (in About Eclipse), make sure it is listed.

Starting with -clean didn't work. It doesn't seem to be listed under About Eclipse - what should I do to install it?

It seems the problem is the plugin was written in Eclipse 3.6 and not working in Eclipse 3.5 installations.
