adding a plugin to the target definition [message #1796095]

So we have to use jrxtx as a osgi container level dependency. thankfully it is exported as a osgi bundle so we can safely use it as a plugin in kura.

I have simply added it to kura/kura/plugins, kura/kura/config.ini and our bundle's MANIFEST.MF.

It works fine.

However, eclipse workspace does not. It shows a build error because it can't locate the plugin.

I have tried adding it to various build paths but it does not become visible to eclipse's plugin container in the way jars in the "target definition" are.

How can I add a 3rd party plugin to the eclipse workspace/target definition?

Hi,
did you try adding it to the Kura-equinox_x.y.z.target file and reloading the definition?

Best regards,
Matteo

Hello

create lib folder in ur project and copy whichever jar you want and give path in manifest and build.properties file.

Like in menifest file.
Bundle-ClassPath: .,
lib/pi4j-core.jar

And build.properties file.

bin.includes = META-INF/,\
.,\
OSGI-INF/component.xml,\
lib/pi4j-core.jar
