problem with a plug-in depending on another project [message #290737]

Hello

I had a plug-in that I decided to split up into different projects in
eclipse. I have now a plug-in that depends on another project from the
same workspace. The plug-in works until I have actions who use objects
from the depending project.
I tried to export the depending project in the buid path configuration of
the plug-in project but it does not work.
Is there a way to make it work?

thanks for your help

A plugin must have dependencies to other plugins (entered using the
manifest editor), a mere project dependency will not suffice. You can
compile using it but you can't run unless you package the plugin so that
it contain a jar from the non-plugin project.

The simplest way is to make both projects plugins and change the project
dependency to a plugin dependency.

If you for some reason don't want to convert one of the projects to a
plugin, then you can use a jar packager and then bundle that jar as a
runtime dependency in the plugin.
