Re: [pde-dev] Plug-in Dependency Problem

Ya JIM
       you are correct. when we faced the same problem, A calling B and B 
calling A , we developed a commong plugin which will serve for both (this 
can be done like putting all required process in a single plugin rather than 
creating a new one). and solved it. this increases reusability and 
feasibility of code also.

Mutual dependendencies between projects are strongly discouraged because
it is difficult for project builders, which build projects one at a time,
to work incrementally.  I suggest you either putting all the the code in a
single plug-in. Projects can have multiple source (and output) folders, so
it is possibly to keep code within a single project segregated. The other
option is to refactor the code between plug-ins so that the dependency is
one-way.

Subject
[pde-dev] Plug-in Dependency Problem






Hello,

I am a computer science graduate student at UIUC, working with Prof. Ralph
Johnson on an IBM project; we are building an IDE for fortran.

I ran across a problem related to plug-in dependencies and was hoping
someone might know what I need to be doing about it.

Consider 2 plug-ins A and B. I need to call code in plug-in B from plug-in
A. So I added plug-in B to the "Dependencies" in plug-in A's plugin.xml
file. That worked fine, and I am able to access code as required. However,
now I need to call code in plug-in A from plug-in B. When I tried to add
plug-in A to plug-in B's "Dependencies", I got a compile-time error that
said "A cycle was detected in the classpath of project: <name of project
in plug-in A>"

I had added plug-in B to the classpath (and Java Build Path in the
Properties of the project) of plug-in A so that I could access code from
there in plug-in A.

Does anyone know how I can have this two-way dependency relationship
between plug-ins?
