How to include a 3rd party jar while exporting a product? [message #449853]

How can I include a 3rd party jar while exporting a product?

I have also selected the 3rd party jar in the "Order and Export" tab of
Java build path but still the same problem.

I am getting this probelm only while exporting, but not whne I am
launching the product from the testing section.

Thanks,
David

The Java Build path is only used inside the IDE. That's why it works
there and not when exported. You need to do two things in your Manifest.MF:
* On the Build tab, select the jar in the Binary Build section. That
gets the jar included when the plug-in is built.
* On the Runtime tab, add the jars to the Classpath section. That tells
Eclipse to include it in the classpath for the plug-in.

In order to use 3rd party jars in an RCP app, they must be in a plugin
somewhere (either included in one or in their own plugin).

Amber gave you some steps. I usually use a list like:
