Setting a custom classloader for my plug-in [message #811639]

Hi,

Im trying to integrate an existing app into a Eclipse plugin. The app is using a custom classloader to download requested classes over the network. However im having problems to get the plugin to use the custom classloader. Is there any way to hook the custom classloader into the plug-in's classloader chain during start-up of the plug-in? What is the recommended approach when using custom classloaders?

All my attempts so far has resulted in the following exception:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: my.downloaded.stuff.MgmtUtils
at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClassInternal (BundleLoader.java:513)
at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:429)
at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:417)
at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.baseadaptor.DefaultClassLoader.loadClass(DefaultClassLoader.java:107)

Regards
Mikael

You should look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Adaptor_Hooks there is a classloading hook that would allow you to hook into your bundles class-loader.

If you need a running example take a look at e(fx)clipse and how it
loads JavaFX from an external resource using adapter hooks.
