I'm creating an additional connector to the Mylyn Task plugin for an internal defect tracking system which is housed within a SQL Server DB. I have been able to get this working when I run the plugin as an application from the Plugin Development Environment. However, when I install an run it on a different instance of Eclipse, it has problems connecting to the DB and indicates there is no suitable driver for my connection. I have the sqljdbc4.jar included in various locations in the plugin projects.

In the run configuration I don't see any SQL values selected. When I install it using the installation wizard, though, I do see a few errors about 'Unable to acquire PluginConverter service during generation', even when I don't use the dropins folder.

All of this is done in Luna. Do you have any thoughts on why it wouldn't use an included JAR file or why I'm getting the pluginConverter failures?

Thanks in advance!

I was able to resolve some of these differences in implementation by creating an 'Update Site Project' instead of using the Export Wizard. Although there shouldn't be much difference between the two, I seemed to have created different results with the Export Wizard.
