[library plugin] Defining a library plugin [message #203411]

Hi newsgroup,

I am up to contribute commons-digester within a special library plugin.
Because the plugin is a PDE plugin project it seams to be not recognized.

I can add dependencies and stuff but the library content is not recognized.
I use
<runtime>
<library name="commons...jar">
<export name="*"/>
</library>
</runtime>

The stuff does not complain and I killed the build.properties. It seams that
the PDE is not able to check the content of commons...jar.

Any advices?

Thanks,

Martin (Kersten)

Hi Martin,

i have a library plugin implemented too.
Your code should work.
My library is named lib.jar. And my build.properties looks like
this:

bin.includes = plugin.xml,\
plugin.properties,\
lib.jar,\
images/
src.includes = plugin.xml,\
plugin.properties
source.lib.jar = src/

If you need code details. My project is available via:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/devtool/
You can browse the cvs online or checkout anonymous.
The plugin is named: net.sourceforge.devtool.lib

Currently I've added the src of all required libraries
(Hail to the OpenSource movement :-))
But this is not an good idea. The gag of my problem lies
within the plugin works if I put it into my plugins/ directory.
But it seams PDE misses the classes if the plugin only exists
within the workspace and being not an active part of the
current eclipse plugin-context. Weird. Maybe I mixed
something.

I will try your setup.

Thanks,

Martin (Kersten)

Hi Thomas,

It works. There is a - at least for me - new field about the
build.properties
editior. It allows to put libraries to the build-path. This will solve my
problems
I guess.

Thanks,
