| ClassNotFoundException when running Java application inside PDE project [message #64201] |

Occassionally when I am working on a plug-in, I will hack together a quick
class with a main method and run it from inside the project. I do this
especially to test little SWT or JFace ideas. Usually this works fine and
the Java classpath has all the necessary jars. I tried this today on 3.5RC3
and I got a ClassNotFoundException.
The reason is that a transitive dependency was not available:
myplugin -> org.eclipse.core.databinding ->
org.eclipse.core.databinding.property
I totally agree that the transitive dependency should not be on the compile
time classpath, but why not on the runtime classpath? Maybe this was never
supposed to work, and I just got lucky in the past.

I think I was just getting lucky. The same thing happens in 3.4, but it is
just less likely. The workaround I've found is to wrap the code in a JUnit
test and use the JUnit Plug-in test launch config coupled with the Headless
Application. This gives you the basic OSGi runtime and a simple entry point
(JUnit) to arbitrary code.
