Debugging plugin does not work! [message #148940]

The plugin depends on a separate jar file so when I run the project as a
"Run Time Workbench" it cannot find this jar and does not run.

How do I add jar files to the classpath such that debugging the plugin will
work??

Am using Eclipse3M7.

You problem description is vague. What are you trying to debug - a plugin?
What error messages appear?

I am writing a new plugin and this plugin depends on xerces; I wish to
debug the plugin - so under Eclipse I select "Debug" as "Run Time
Workbench". This fires up a new instance of Eclipse that loads the plugin so
that I can debug it 'in-situ'.

If I comment out the code that uses the xerces library it works and I can
debug it as events are fired etc. - once I try and add the xml parsing code
again the Eclipse that is fired up cannot find the xerces jar file and hence
fails to load the plugin.

My question is how to update my Project to say "when you fire up the new
Eclipse under the debugger ensure that jar file X is on the classpath".
Under the debugger the file for the View shows the import statement for
xerces with the red circle and 'X' against it showing that it was not able
to find the jar file (only whilst debugging - xerces is added to the project
for building purposes)

(and I have tried RTFM - but this depends on finding the right help file to
read; which I did not find)

Thanks for replying

Try to copy xerces.jar file into your project folder (where .project and
plugin.xml reside) and add xerces.jar into 'Run-time libraries' section of
plugin.xml.
Not sure if this is the best way to do it, but worked for me.
