Eclipse plugin problem [message #720838]

Hi,

I am developing an eclipse plugin, and I am trying to use Android's ddmlib, which is exported by the plugin: com.android.ide.eclipse.ddms .

The problem is: I added that plugin to the dependencies in the manifest, but when I try to use the classes contained in ddmlib jar, they aren't accessible. Only com.android.ide.* ones are.

Can anyone help?
Why can't I access the plugin's exported packages?

Please double check that the ddms bundle actually exports all of the packages you need.

Also, until 3.7, PDE did not support nested jars. If the ddms plug-in was jarred, PDE was unable to extract the jars and add them to the JDT classpath. This could be worked around by having the project in your workspace and is fixed in 3.7.
