How to add a run-time lib to plug-in [message #146157]

Hi!

My plug-in needs a certain library which is available at compile-time so I
don't have any problems here.

As far as I understand I have to manually configure the plugin(.xml) for the
lib be in classpath at run-time as well. But I don't quite understand the
Runtime tab of the plugin editor. Well, I can add the name of the jar to
the list but...well, it does not know where it can find the library on the
disk. And the name may change, somebody may simply rename it or lib-1.0.jar
may became lib-1.1.jar....

What to do? :-)

Thanks
Timo

I just copied the jar to my projects root - works. But why? Will it
statically be packaged into the plugin's jar??

Read this article. It explains PDE and plugin development better:

And see this about 3rd party jars:
