Re: [cdt-dev] converting dsf-gdb test plug-in into a fragment
|
I see.
Do you have an example of something you are trying to
access that you cannot, at runtime?
Thanks
Actually, that technique you used is needed whether or not the test
plugin is a fragment. What you're doing there is getting around
compile-time visibility barriers. Making the test project a fragment
gets around runtime access barriers resulting from the fact that each
plugin has its own classloader.
Another way to say that is: without
your accessor class, you wouldn't have been able to code the the tests; the
compiler would have blocked you. However, even with your solution, you could
have run into IllegaAccessError exceptions at runtime. That's what's prevented
by turning the project into a fragment.

I have the changes on my machine and it all seems to be working well.
