[MonoDevelop] StartupHandler

[Lluis Sanchez Gual]

Hi,

In the test addin you attached, the extension attribute should be like
this:

[Extension(Path="/MonoDevelop/Ide/StartupHandlers", NodeName="Class")]

The Type parameter you had is not required, and can't be used in this
context. That parameter can be used to specify which type extension
point is being extended, but in this case the extension point is
specified using a path, not a base class. I'll add a check for this in
Mono.Addins and show a better error message.

Also, the NodeName parameter is required here because the
StartupHandlers expect extension nodes to have this name, while by
default the [Extension] attribute generates nodes with the name "Type"
instead.

All this may look a bit awkward, but that extension point was created in
a early version of Mono.Addins, which was mainly oriented on add-ins
described using xml manifests instead of attributes.

Finally, make sure that the version of the dependency you specify
matches the version you have. For example, if you are using MonoDevelop
from github, the dependency should be "MonoDevelop.Ide","2.6"

Lluis.
