RCP-App asTest-Tool for a third-party-library ... [message #829537] Mon, 26 March 2012 12:26 Go to next message

Hi all.
I wrote a test tool (as RCP-application .exe) to test the functionality of an external library (jar file. Own implementation).
The external library is part of the plugin-classpath (MANIFEST: Bundle-Classpath).

Because there is always a newer version of the external jar file, I want to change the test-tool so, that I just have to replace the old external jar file with the newer one.
This way I will not have to build the test tool each time a new version of the library exists.

I'll appreciate any advice.

Thanks in advance.
Abdeltif

Hi,

You just need to wrap your external library into a plugin and export all of
its packages. Then every time you have a new version of the external jar, you
increment the version number and add it to the dropins or plugins directory.

There is no need to rebuild the app.

If you want to get fancy, you can include P2 into your app and publish the
external library plugin on an update site so you can use P@ to do the update
for you.

Regards,

Wim
