Mission critical problem getting System properites [message #265981]

Hi,

I have a Libs Plugin, a plugin that contains and exports a number of jar
files. Some of the jar files have files in the META-INF/services
folder. Some of the files access the data in the META-INF folder by
using the System.getProperties() method. In a normal Java program this
works with no problems. However, it does not recognize the properties
defined in the META-INF folder like normally.

Is there any work arounds for this? This is a pretty critical issue for
me.

Thank you,

Jesse

As far as I know, the Eclipse plug-in classloader does not scan the meta-inf
directories for any files to be added to the System properties. You could
implement that by hand, in your plug-in's startup method by adding all the
values using System.getProperties().put("key", "value"); (if that works).

If you have access to the source, you can replace the call to
System.getProperties()
to load the proper properties file instead?

I was afraid of that but I wanted some confirmation before I went ahead
and made the load method by hand.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
