Hi all,
I'm writing an Eclipse plugin that is needs to pull in and package some external dependencies (namely the MySQL driver). So, I migrated the project to using Maven. However, once I did that I started getting compilation errors indicating that classes in org.eclipse.ui.menus were unable to be found. (It's worth noting that before trying to use Maven, the only error was the runtime "Class not found" error since the mysql jar was not on the runtime classpath.)
The classes that are causing the errors in particular are CommandContributionItemParameter and ExtensionContributionFactory. These classes were introduced in 3.4 and 3.5 respectively (according to the docs), and according to Wikipedia, these versions were released in 2008 and 2009 respectively. However, the latest jars on mvnrepository.com appear to be from 2007 for both packages.
I came to the conclusion that that meant one of two things: either development has stopped, or the latest packages must be available from somewhere else. I found http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars/ which seems like the repo I need to use, but I haven't been able to use it because I can't specify the right versions of the packages I need.
My questions are the following:
* Do I need to specify an alternate repository, from which there are up-to-date org.eclipse.* jars? (If so, how can I browse it to find which packages I need, their versions, artifactIDs, groupIDs?)
* Am I going about this the right way, or is there some workflow I don't know about?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
