Currently the section "How Zend Tool finds your Providers" on http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/… indicates that Zend Tool uses the IncludePathLoader to load additional providers. That is no longer the case. It now uses the BasicLoader, which means that you have to manually add your providers/manifests to Zend Tool.

I have created a simple patch for trunk/documentation/manual/en/module_specs/Zend_Tool_Framework-WritingProviders.xml that fixes this issue in the documentation. I'll attach it as soon as the issue is created.
