Re: [pde-ui-dev] plugin classpath ...
|
Neil,
I'm developing a plugin for Google Web Toolkit and I can't
redistribute gwt's jar files due to license restriction. The user will
download it from Google's site and set the GWT_HOME classpath variable
in his Eclipse and I'll can obtain the jar file's absolute location
thru that variable. Since I get the actual location only during
runtime, I can't put it in the manifest file. Is there a way we can
programmatically modify the classpath?

Hi TG,
In general the answer is "don't". Decoupling the metadata of a plugin
from its physical location can be problematic and should be avoided
wherever possible.
Having said that, the Equinox implementation recognizes that this is
not always possible, for example where a JAR such as a JDBC driver
must be shared with another application, or if that JAR cannot be
moved or modified either for technical or license reasons. In that
case you can import it using the "external:" modifier.
For details see section 20.4 (Bundling by Reference) in the RCP book,
or this post on EclipseZone:

Kind regards,
Neil
