hi,
i have several plug-ins which use a few jars.
so far any jar file was located in each and every project/plugin folder.

i want to relocate them into one specific location so my different plugins
could be consists with any new/updated jar file. (for example i moved them
to eclipse/plugins/lib)

now when i configurating the classpath of any project i use - Add External
Jars
and the project compiles perfectly.
but when i try to run it i get a runtime error,
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError..." i guess it can't find the jars...

what am i doing wrong? (maybe something in the plugin.xml file?? )

is there a different way to share jars between plugins??

thanks,
Asaf.

I think you should create a plugin with commons, which in its plugin
descriptor exports all those JAR files.
Then the rest of your plugins should add this commons plugins as requiered.

I did this and it works. But perhaps there are other ways.......

Hope this helps,
