Strange plugin.xml behavior when writing a DTP ODA

<p>Hi-</p>

<p>I am working on a data source for MarkLogic and am encountering strange behavior in my run/debug configurations.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The <dataSetUI> element works as designed when the <dataSourceUI> element is commented out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When I uncomment the <dataSourceUI> element, the <dataSetUI> no longer works while the <dataSourceUI> works fine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any ideas what the problem could be?</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I can't tell from the plugin.xml without the other project files, but if I had to take a guess, does the dataSetUI have the correct id and initialPageId?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One is "org.eclipse.datatools.<strong>engagement</strong>.marklogic.dataSet" and the other is "org.eclipse.datatools.<strong>connectivity</strong>.marklogic.ui.dataset..."</p>
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
<dataSetUI id="org.eclipse.datatools.engagement.marklogic.dataSet" supportsOutParameters="false" supportsInParameters="true" initialPageId="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.marklogic.ui.dataset.ui1">
</pre>
<p>What steps did you take to create this ODA?</p>

<p>Hi-</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am using the XML Data source as a starting point. The XML Data source works great with the MarkLogic REST API but we want to expand the feature set. Initially, I am going to add three features to our extension of the XML data source. They are:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>- Change the output type to either application/xml or json.</p>
<p>- Add the ability to use security. (I.e. add username/password)</p>
<p>- Add JSON document support. (Obviously, this is the biggest change. We want the same ODA to handle either XML or JSON documents seamlessly.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for you help!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have never successfully gotten the "next" button to work in creating a dataset. I assume that the pulgin.xml is screwed up. I can supply more files or even put the whole project in github if that would help. The real version that I am using is:</p>

<p>I'll most likely need to entire project to troubleshoot. PM me with the location, and we can work on this offline.</p>
