title: Where should my plugin dependencies be located?
body: <p>So here is my struggle..I am working on my first Eclipse Plugin.. On my PC, I have 2 eclipse versions, one where I developed the plugin, and another where I want to install the plugin.</p>
  
  <p>Now my plugin works just fine, as I can easily test it by running it as a Eclipse Application using the eclipse that the plugin was developed in. This is how my plugin looks:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vrvnW.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vrvnW.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>As you can see, I have quite a lot of so called "Plug-in Dependencies".</p>
  
  <p>I also tried various ways to export the plugin, the latest (and by some other answers best way) approach is using this tutorial : 
  <a href="http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipsePlugin/article.html#install-feature-via-the-eclipse-update-manager" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipsePlugin/article.html#install-feature-via-the-eclipse-update-manager</a></p>
  
  <p>Points :</p>
  
  <ol start="9">
  <li>Exercise: Create a feature for your plug-in</li>
  <li>Exercise: Create an update site your plug-in</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>However, after successfully installing it (it appears as a plugin in the "Installation Details") in the second Eclipse, the functionality is not the one expected(the one that I get when I test the plugin in the Eclipse used to develop it).</p>
  
  <p>I have a hunch that the problem is with that list of dependencies from the first pic.. Because what gets exported is like ~14 KB, while some of the jars from the dependency list have more than 150 KB..
  I searched in the installation Eclipse folder for some of those jars but couldn't find them..</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?..What suggestions do you have for including those dependencies in the plugin export..</p>
  
  <p>Thanks

  <p>UPDATE 1
  After exporting my Plugin, it looks similar to the folder structure from the second answer from here :
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5482554/how-to-install-plugin-for-eclipse-from-zip">How to install plugin for Eclipse from .zip</a>
  But I think that there is a problem because in the "features" and "plugins" folder, I only have the jar for my plugin, and none of the dependencies (in the answer for the other question, there were a lot of Microsoft jars in those folders) </p>
  
  <p>SOLUTION
  The problem was that I wasn't setting the dependencies in the <code>Feature</code> that I was exporting. This can be done by going into the <code>Dependecies</code> tab while editing the <code>feature.xml</code> feature file, and adding there the dependencies that you plugin needs (which are listed under <code>Plugin Dependencies</code> in the ecliplse project) </p>
