Hi,
I have an RCP application ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/fgflightplanner/) that I have been maintaining for a few years now and have been asked to help in packaging it for Fedora. Fedora already packages eclipse and most of the dependencies I need as jar files, but I need help on how I could simply get my application to point to these jars rather than bundling them again in my plugin. I could build them as OSGI packages, or get the Fedora maintainers to do that, I think that is only a matter of generating a proper MANIFEST.MF in the jar file, but then how can I locate bundles scattered across the file system?
Quote from the packager:
| Quote: | On a different note, although the publish target is great for making distributable
tarballs, it's not quite ideal for packaging. Ideally, I'd like it to create
the executable, along with one (or more) jars of fgfp itself. For the rest it
should just use the system jars.

Hi Trevor,
A well designed OSGi configuration file might do the trick. Basically you
point to a few directories where your required bundles are located. Here is a
link to clarify this: http://eclipse.org/equinox/documents/quickstart.php
If you need more help, try the equinox group for additional expertise around
this subject.
