Re: [tycho-user] jars.extra.classpath problem with plugin patch fragment

[Justin Dolezy <justin.dolezy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Many thanks Gunnar, looks like we’ll have to make code changes for now then. Disappointing we can’t keep our modifications out of the host plugin, though.

We’re only using jars.extra.classpath to keep Tycho RCP build happy as it compiles & runs fine from the IDE:

Best regards,

This maybe a side effect of:

At least, this is a change touching the specific area in Tycho.

I'm not sure if fragments in combination with jars.extra.classpath are a good way, though. If your code relies on patched version of the plug-ins I'd recommend making this explicit by shipping patched plug-ins and depending on the specific version of the patched plug-ins.

Additionally you need to define a patch feature to install the patched plug-ins into Eclipse.
