Eclipse: Include required features to update site

I am developing an Eclipse plug-in that requires a third-party plug-in such as the AJDT (AspectJ Development Tools) plug-in. When a user wants to install my plug-in from the update site and does not have AJDT installed or enabled in his list of available update sites the installation will fail.

I created a file associateSites.xml next to the site.xml and included the reference in site.xml: tag:

<site
  associateSitesURL="associateSites.xml">

The content of associateSites.xml looks like this:

<associateSites>
<associateSite url="..."/>
</associateSites>

This does not seem to have the wanted effect. Is there any other way to do so?

Using associateSitesURL seems to be deprecated.

This can help:

Include an external update site in my update site in Eclipse

together with

Feature Export Wizard

You have to add the

<repository-reference location=...>

tag in the category.xml and export the features as described in Feature Export Wizard, checking the option "Categorize repository".

Try making the associateSitesURL an absolute URL (eg, http://www.yourdomain.com/updates/associateSites.xml)
