There is something I do not understand (among other things :)
We have three plugins - studio,support and parser
Studio requires both support and parser (they listed as required in
studio manifest)
If you import all 3 projects into the workspace – everything builds fine
Now export support project to support.jar plugin and/or parser project
to parser.jar plugin
Drop these plugins into eclipse/plugins and remove projects support and
parser from workspace
Studio project will not build now – java compiler does not see classes
from support.jar and/or parser.jar dropped into eclipse/plugins (though
the packages are exported!)
It does not complain – required plugins not found as they are found –
eclipse compiler simply does not see the classes…
But studio uses eclipse API and this API is provided by plugins located
in eclipse/plugins
Why classes only from our plugins are not visible by eclipse java compiler?
I have compared manifests from eclipse API plugins and e.g. our
manifests - the only difference is that in their manifests all classes
are signed:
