Description Mike Greenawalt CLA 2006-05-08 19:03:55 EDT 
A goal of Callisto projects is to have every plug-in be a single jar rather than a  directory. 

My experience is that with the SkDialer.dll located in the directory structure where it is, making the plug-in as a jar file causes the dll to not be located at runtime. 

I inquired on the newsgroups, and was informed that dlls *can* be included if they are at the top-level of the jar. Then the library loader can find them.

Right now, the dll is located in org.eclipse.vtp.dialer.skype/os/win32/x86 

It should be moved to the toplevel of this structure.

Great find. All that should be needed is a change in the build.properties as well. I'll do it immediately and spin the daily build.

Mike,

Another old bug.

Let's reassign this one to Adam Berry. It is all about the build configuration.

One caution:  Do not lose SkDialer.dll. I shudder at the thought of ever successfully recreating it from source again. It was painful in the beginning, and has not gotten better in the intervening 3+ years.
