Hello Eclipse Community,

I have very strange question.
Is it possible to use the same source in a simple java project and in a RCP project.

The Idea ist to develop, edit the java files in one place but to use them into two different projects without to make some conversion like jars or equal.

We have one project which is writen as simple java project and we want to use the classes of it in a RCP plugin project. Is that possible without to convert the simple into RCP? Because the simple and the RCP will be both developed further.

Regards,
Kosta

Why not convert the simple jar into an bundle/plugin? From the java jar point of view, there's nothing special about being an OSGi bundle except you have some OSGi headers in your MANIFEST.MF which specify your ID, version, and what java packages you export. The OSGi headers have no effect when running as a normal jar on the classpath, and will allow that project to work correctly in an RCP app.
