Required plug-ins vs. Plugin dependencies [message #152217] Fri, 12 May 2006 12:59 Go to next message

Hi all!

Could someone kindly explain me the difference between "Plugin
Dependencies" (in the Manifest Editor)
and "Required Plugins" (visible e.g. in Package Explorer and Properties -
Java Build Path - Required Plugins).?

I have added "eclipse.org.jdt.core" into Plugin dependecies (not optional),
but it does not appear
in the "Required Plugins" listing. As a consequence, I can't include it
into Java Build Path and get
the error "Import cannot be resolved".

So how can I modify "required plugins" listing? Why is it independent from
the "Plugin depencies"?

I have Eclipse 3.1.2 and Java 5 on XP.

All replys are appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Katja Henttonen

Hi Katja,

plugin dependencies is the runtime classpath and the build path is...the
build classpath. A way of synchronize both is right click package explorer>
pde tools > update classpath.

Hi again!,

Thank you, Cesar, for explaining the difference. There are still a couple
of issues:

1) I tried update "class path" before but it does not have any affect. I
recall it used
to work with an example project, but it does not work with mine.Why could
that be?

2) I have added external libraries to the build path. Every time I do
"update
class path" Eclipse removes these libraries from the build path. How
I can prevent this?

Many thanks again.

Katja

Update hammers the content of your manifest.mf (or plugin.xml) runtime
information onto the Java build path properties. You have to declare all
those libraries in the manifest.mf (or plugin.xml).
