New WB SWT project - Adding PluginLibraries [message #902408]

Hi,

I made a new component and a plugin to put it on the palette of window builder. I saw that when a new SWT project is create a lot of jars are added to the project.

ProjectUtils.addPluginLibraries(javaProject, "org.eclipse.jface");

How can I put my jar? I put:

ProjectUtils.addPluginLibraries(javaProject, "com.test.fw.wb.mvc.core");

and export it to /eclipse/plugin, but don't find it..

Anyone have an idea of what I need to do?

Actually this is not the best way.
What is much easier is creating PDE project and adding org.eclipse.ui and your library/plugin.

And no, you can not extend SWT project wizard.
If you need your project specific wizard, you can create new one.

Yes, I create my wizard...

I try to do that, create a new PDE project and put library inside, but don't work! The palette don't find my component class...

You need to add your library into manifest.mf and .classpath

Ok,

So I have 2 projects:
- test.*.core: Have components;
- test.*: Have the implementation to use palette, objects class info and wbp-component.xml

I need to create a new PDE and put the other 2 inside? Sorry, but I don't understand what I need to do...

You have 2 Eclipse instances.
Dev: where you develop your Info, descriptions wbp-component.xml, etc
Run: where you open WindowBuilder editor, drop components, see palette, etc.

You need to create PDE project in RunEclipse, import plugin test.*.core (probably as source) and add dependency on this plugin from PDE project.
So, your PDE project will see component classes.
