plugin import does not create the src structure [message #69219] Fri, 27 June 2003 19:52 Go to next message

Plugin import does not create the src structure when i tried to import a
plugin.

Heres the scenario:
In the Java Perspective
File --> Import --> External Plugins and Fragments --> Then selected the
check box for "Extract source archives and create folders in projects",
click next--> Select the plugin i want.. then finish.

It creates a project w/o the src folder, even though i have 2 jar
files(one for classes and one for java source code) in the
eclipse\plugins\[selected plugin]\runtime folder. I had to manually create
the src folder in the project and import the jar file to make it to work.

I wish it would work automatically. Did anyone experience this prob? This
seems to be a bug

Any one has some suggestions, comments?

Let me know

Thanks

Was this a standard plugin or one that you created? If it was a standard one
that came with the Eclipse SDK then that should have worked. If it was one
you created then perhaps it's a packaging problem. You mentioned that you
have "2 jar files", but the source should be in a .zip file not a .jar file,
and it should be named the same as your class jar file with a "src"
appended. For example, "foo.jar" => "foosrc.zip". You can see an example of
this packaging in section 8.4.2 of our book (the plugin introductory chapter
is a free download from the web site). Hope this helps.
