RE: [equinox-dev] How can I embed a JAR in a plugin?

["David Leangen" <osgi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you, Johah,

Actually, the manifest I was using was correct, I just copied it wrong below
(added in by hand and omitted the jar when I wrote it).

But thanks for the tip. Much appreciated. I'll be sure to watch out for that
in my other projects.


Cheers,
David
