| [mylar-dev] Depending on Mylar plugins |
|
Hi
Mik,
(I'm
using Eclipse 3.2RC7 with Mylar 0.5.3.)
I have
a plugin project that I have made dependent on Mylar core (I added the
org.eclipse.mylar.core dependency to the
plugin.xml/manifest).
But
when I try to access mylar code - e.g. by calling MylarPlugin.getDefault() I get a compilation error
because it can't find any of the Mylar classes.
I
think the problem is because the org.eclipse.mylar.core_0.5.3.jar file
contains the nested jar file mylar-core.jar (which contains the class
files). This nesting of jar files seems to prevent me from accessing the
Mylar classes. I extracted the contents of the
org.eclipse.mylar.core_0.5.3.jar file into a directory inside of my
eclipse/plugins and removed the org.eclipse.mylar.core_0.5.3.jar file and it
works.
Have
you or anyone else seen this problem before?
Does
anyone know what the Eclipse convention is on packaging plugin jars?
I looked at a few other well know plugins - EMF, PEF, and UI, and they all
directly contain the class files (they don't have nested jar files).
Thanks,
