Activator not called if plugin created by JAR [message #1273072]

I created eclipse plugin from jar Like EclipseJarToPlugin
Then in MANIFEST.MF I'm adding `Activator` for this plugin.

But the problem is this Activator never called. Even while creating plug-in there is no option for Activator.

Is there is any way so that we can know when first time any Exported class of this plugin(of jar) is called.?

The problem was:

The activator org.example.FooActivator for bundle org.example.foo is invalid
And I found that is because of:

There has been a ClassNotFoundException trying to load the class in the first place, before it's even got to the start() method.

So for solve this problem:

You have to add "." in to your class path see following image.

Add scr as source in your build and . in your bin.includes. See the image below:
