Running a plugin that requires classes from another project [message #50058]

Hello,
I have a litte plugin project implementing a view that requires a class
from another standard Java project from my workspace.
I have included this Java project in the build path of the plugin-project,
the plugin project allows me to import this class and I also can declare a
class variable.
But once I am running the plugin, I am getting an error mesaage in the
plugin's view: "An error has occurred when creating this view". The error
happens, when I am instanciating the class variable in the
createPartControl routine of the view.

What is wrong with that?

Michael

A wild guess off hand but is your plugin including the class(es) from your
other project? If not, that is probably the problem. Compile time and run
time are two different beasts when it comes to class visibility. Compile
time is easy because you can simply point the compiler classpath to any
location on your local system where classes are to be found. At runtime, you
don't have the luxury becuase each system may have different locations for
things like plugins. However you are building your plugin, you need to make
sure you are including the other project class(es) as well in your plugin.

In short, add your project (if it is a plugin) to the <requires>
configuration
element in plugin.xml.
