Hi,
I have a plugin which gets installed with a missing dependent library.
When the Activator class of the plugin gets called, the dependent
library gets downloaded, but the plugin cannot recognize or link to the
downloaded library, until eclipse is restarted.
Is there a way, that the plugin can link to the downloaded library,
after the Activator class is called without restarting eclipse. The
download call is made in the start() function of the Activator class.
Regards
Samrat Dhillon
