Use package from subclipse plugin [message #258490]

Hello @ all,

I'd like to write a plugin helping to work with SVN. As the future users
all have the subclipse-plugin already installed, I plan to use the package
"org.tigris.subversion.svnclientadapter.commandline" used by this plugin
to execute svn-commands.
To write my plugin, I installed subclipse 1.2.4 and added
"org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core" to the Require-Bundle of the new
plugin's manifest.

Unfortunately, this not seems to be enough to use the commandline-package
via "import" in my new classes. The manifest of the subclipse-plugin
contains the path "/lib/svnClientAdapter.jar" in the "Bundle-ClassPath"
entry and the respective jar containing the class-files I need.

Has anybody a clue what more is required to use the commandline-package of
subclipse?

Thanks in advance!

Does the subclipse plug-in's manifest "export" the packages you need?
i.e. are there Export-package entries?

Yes, the export-definitions are made

I can repeat the problem on Eclipse 3.3.1.1. What version are you using?

I think this might be a regression of bug 63576. I will investigate it a
little further.

My working theory is that this is a problem with the PDE. It should work
fine in runtime. To trick the PDE, try extracting the
svnClientAdapter.jar from the plug-in and manually adding it to your
Java build path (as an external JAR). At runtime, Equinox should find
the JAR in the org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core bundle.

It seems that another workaround is to import the Subclipse project into
your workspace.

I'm pretty much convinced that this is a bug in PDE, but different from
63576.

The symptoms seem to be that JARs contained within a plug-in in the
Target Platform are not detected by the PDE. I've been able to replicate
this problem with other bundles.

I've opened bug 237127 [1] to address this.

HTH,

Wayne

Dear Wayne,

thanks for replying and presenting a workaround so soon :)
If I add the package as external JAR or import the project, do I have to
include the package to the JAR when exporting my plugin?

No. You only need to fool the development environment. The runtime
should work fine. Having said that, I recommend early testing.

Hello Wayne,

the workaround is working around just fine for PDE :)
Yet, while debugging the referenced library, the sources are not found
(please see my post
http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=24379&g roup=eclipse.newcomer#24379)

Thanks for helping! :)
