Reading XML file from external location [message #1061749]

Hi Guys,

I have a requirement where I want to read some XML files from an external location.
Is there any way to add external directory to the bundle classpath?

Somewhere on google I found (http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/169684/) that we can use keyword "external" in the Bundle-Classpath header in the MANIFES.MF to add external directory, I tried it but it did not work.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Manish

Please note that this feature is specific only for Equinox.

I'm using the following and it is working as expected

Bundle-ClassPath: .,external:$java.home$/../lib/tools.jar

Thanks Violeta.

I think I was making some typo there. It is now working as expected.

Thanks,

Actually I missed the second dollar sign after the env variable.

Thanks,
