Cant add .jar to target plattform [message #1414498]

Hello everybody!

I'm trying to add the new xtend lib (2.62) to my target plattform.
I downloaded the .jar files (xtend.lib,xbase.lib), and copied them (within eclipse) into a subfolder (plugins) of my active target plattform.

But when I go to Window -> Pref. -> Plugin Dev. -> target plattform (choosing then edit, with the correct plattform marked) I cant find the new xtend lib (only the old one, 2.31 wich was there before).

What else do I have to do? (Refreshenig all projects or restarting eclipse does not work).

One xtend Template I wanted to use says "Add xtend libs to classpath" as quickfix (clicking it does not work...)

What goes in the plugin subdirectory under Eclipse is plug-in tools for
Eclipse.

JARs don't go in your plug-in folder. I'm not a plug-in developer, but I
think you want them somewhere in your project because you're using them
to develop software not run Eclipse itself, right?

Thanks for your answer!

Im new to plugin-dev too, but I thought the concept of the target-plattform means a collection of plugins that are usable by your plugin-project when you point to this target plattform.

So I thought when I copy a .jar file into this target plattform folder its like copying a .jar into a classpath (in standard java projects)?
Is there something else I have to do? (he does not find the new xtend lib when I want to add it under dependencys for a plugin, only the old lib, but the jar files are in the same folder... ?? Im confused...)

Some brighter Crayon than I should be along soon, perhaps tomorrow if
not today, which is a US holiday.

Hi

the target platform is based on installed bundles, thus, just copying
..jar is not enough, as far as I know...

hm ok, so somehow I must install xtend to the target plattform. How do I do that if not by copying the runtime librarie jars into the target platform?
Im trying to get this fixed for a week now. Sad

You might try posting your question in the Plugin Development Environment (PDE) forum.

You can use a .target definition file.
