Hi everyone.

My question/problem concerns the classLoader-library tag for extending WindowBuilder Pro(WBP)
I am extending WBP via a plugin to add components to the palette. So what I basically have is

<extension point="org.eclipse.wb.core.toolkits">
  <toolkit id="org.eclipse.wb.swing" priority="1010">
    <palette>
      <category description="Some description"
                id="foo.bar.SomeComponents"
                name="Some Components"
                next="org.eclipse.wb.swing.system"
                open="true"
                visible="true">
        <component class="foo.bar.Baz">
           <library  bundle="foo.bar.projectName"
                     jar="lib/myLibrary-1.4.2.jar"
                     src="lib/myLibrary-sources-1.4.2.jar"
                     type="foo.bar.Baz">
           </library>
        </component>
        ...
      </category> 
    </palette>
  </toolkit>
</extension>

My questions now is: The jar (and src) are built from another project and change on a regular basis. Is there a way to make the plugin more dynamic?
Or in other words: Do I have to build the plugin every time I build a new library jar? If not, can someone give me and example how to implement that?

I hope I made my problem clear, if not please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any answers Smile

1. If you want to add new jar into project, then you need to have this jar and it should be in plugin, so you have to update it.

2. If you develop your components and use them in parallel, you can use "project palette contribution". See http://code.google.com/javadevtools/wbpro/NewComponentsTutorial.pdf item 1.1.

Ok, that's quite what I expected. Still thanks for the answer Smile

.

I don't think Option 2 is possible for me, because I have to specify custom editors for certain properties of the added components (or rather, I already do that).
