Using preferences to control external: manifest entries [message #97267]

I'm trying to find a way to use Eclipse preferences to control variable
substitution of external: bundle manifest entries. Is there any
(relatively easy) way to do this? I can't seem to find any way to
dynamically update the FrameworkProperties that are driving the variable
substitution. I don't really want to require users to alter any files
or the environment by hand. If there isn't any way to do this using
external:, are there any other options for referencing 3rd party
libraries on the classpath?

Thanks,
Craig

The external: substitution is done way down low in the core framework.
We cannot depend on any thing external to the framework to perform
variable substitutions like eclipse preferences, config admin, etc.

Placing the 3rd party jar directly in the bundle is always a much better
option than depending on external files which are not managed.
