Migration of java 8 eclipse plugin to java 11 - jar file not exported? [message #1823511] Fri, 27 March 2020 17:22 Go to next message

We are migrating an eclipse plugin from java 8 to java 11. The plugin contains a library as jar-file. The packages of the library (jar file) are should be exported by the plugin to be used by other plugins.

The whole thing was working fine in java 8, but after we moved to java 11, an automatic module name was added to MANIFEST.MF, but the packages of the library (jar file in the plugin) are no longer visible to other plugins.

However, standard java packages in plugins can be easily exported and used in other plugins.

Any pointers to what is missing?

I tried to simply change the Java Runtime for my Eclipse plugin - this unfortunately did not work. I managed to solve this issue by recreating the Eclipse plugin from scratch by using the wizard which adds the jar files in the plugin successfully. Not sure what the issue was ...

(The goal was to have an Eclipse plugin, which contains a library and exports the API from the jar file to other Eclipse plugins ...)

Hi

If it's an Eclipse plugin, it is important to use the update classpath facility within the Manifest editor.
