Hey,,

I am writing a plugin and want to use an external jar. Compiling the
source works fine. But running the Plugin it doesnt find the classes of
the jar any more.
I tried also to deliver the jar file with the plugin in a lib folder but
that doesnt work either.

Can anybody help?
thx
Philipp

The external JAR has to be inside your plug-in directory structure and
you have to declare the JAR as required in your plugin.xml.

Hi,

i have the jar in my plugin structure ... but HOW do i declare it as
required in my plugin.xml ? I thought you can only set the required
plugins by

<requires>
<import plugin>...</import plugin>
</requires>

if i try to add the package name, it can not be resolved...
