How can I import code from Java project into plug-in project without copying jar ? [message #197925]

I'd like to keep some code that is shared between a plug-in and another
Java application in a Java project (i.e. outside the plug-in project). I
can add that project to my plug-in's Build Class Path, and it compiles
fine, but how can I add it to the runtime classpath as well (this does
not happen automatically)?

I've configured the Java project such that it puts everyting into a
local jar, however I was not yet able to import that jar e.g. by
manipulating the plug-in project's plugin.xml or build.properties (in
Eclipse 2.1.2).

Your advice on how to overcome this situation is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Christian

You can't really. Plugin's must have their jars located within the
plugin itself and there must be a <required> library element pointing to
that jar.

It would be better to go the other way, have you non-plugin project
require the plugin to share the code.

Alright, I see. So I'll do as you say and start from a library plug-in
instead.

Thanks for your quick help,
