install xerces plugin [message #31392]

Hello,
I have a problem installing a plugin.
I downloaded the Xerces-J plugin from this site:
http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/xerces-j/
(the file: Xerces-J-bin.2.8.0.tar.gz )
After unzipping, I got the following jar files:
resolver.jar
xercesImpl.jar
xercesSamples.jar
xml-apis.jar

I copied these files into the plugins directory of my eclipse
installation, but the error "import org.apache cannot be resolved" is
still there in the program, even after I restarted eclipse many times.

Can someone tell me where the problem is ?

Thanks

Tarek,

Those are just ordinary jars. They are not jar'ed plugins. If you want
to use them from your plugin, you will need to wrap them in another
plugin. How do to this has been covered several times in the platform
and rcp newsgroups. You should look there.

That said, you should not be using the Xerces api directly. You should
use the JAXP api that comes with the JRE. The JRE will use its bundled
parser under the covers (often Xerces). By doing this, you can avoid
the issue altogether.
