Cannot build the HelloWorld plugin [message #14140]

Hi,

I'm very new in eclipse. I tried to do the helloworld plugin example by
doing the steps described in the help.

Everything is ok to this point:

- In the Java Build Path properties, select the Projects tab, and check the
projects org.eclipse.ui and org.eclipse.swt. These are the projects that
contain the classes we imported.

There is no org.eclipse.ui and org.eclipse.swt on that page.

What is the problem?

Thanks
George

The problem is because the example doesn't tell you how you are suppose to
import certain jar files into your class path.I would recomend you that
you should create the plugin that eclipse creates itself then you won't
have to face this problem as all the necesary imports will be done by
itself.

Go to File->New->Project->PLugin Development->plug-in project->Next->give
it a name->Next->Next->then from the list click on HelloWorld and Finish.
This would get a plugin just like the one you are trying to created and
there onward on won't be having any problem with any more examples.If you
any more problem ask another question.
I hope this helps.

Syed's advice will work, but what's going on could be that the plug-ins are
not selected by default in Window > Preferences > Plug-In Development >
Target Platform. If you go there, and click 'Not In Workspace' and Apply
then that will help.

While the preferences dialog is up, select Plug-In Development > Java Build
Path Control, and turn on the option that asys "Use classpath containers for
dependent plug-ins". This will eliminate the need for adding the libraries
manually and make your Package Explorer display tidier as well. This is a
new 2.1 feature and is covered in the Tips and Tricks online help. For this
to have an effect on existing, open projects you'll probably have to close
and re-open them after changing it.

Next double-click your plugin.xml and go to the Dependencies page. Click the
Add... button and then add the plug-ins you want to use.

Hope this helps.
