PDE Manifest editor - classpath utility is kind of confusing [message #59274] Wed, 01 February 2006 16:14 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I created a bundle with the 3.2M4 PDE that included additional jars
(contained within) in its classpath. I added the jars under the manifest
editor's Runtime tab which was easy enough. However, then when I built my
bundle (via the generated Ant script) the compiled code wasn't included.
It took me a while to track down the issue, but I realized that after
adding libraries to my classpath, the root of the bundle was no longer
included. This is fine, and adding "." solved the problem, but the PDE
manifest editor doesn't seem to make this fact very obvious. I had to
click "New" to add a new classpath entry, which presented a dialog box
that appeared to be geared towards adding additional libraries (jars).
E.g., the input box in the dialog is initially filled with "library.jar",
with "library" highlighted so that it can easily be overwritten.

Does this seem unintuitive to anyone else? Is there somewhere else that
allows me to specify that I want the bundle's root included in the
classpath?

Thanks,
Jeremy Volkman

Yes, we have this problem too. We add the "Bundle-Classpath: .," etc in
the Manifest via the text editor view. it then appears in the runtime
box, but I don't think there is another way yet. Very confusing when
running your bundles outside the PDE.

Interesting. Could you enter a bug report against PDE UI with the details
of your workflow.

Thanks!
