Re: [dtp-dev] New Connectivity Plug-in for BZ 117318

[jograham@xxxxxxxxxx]

Brian,

This plug-in has been added to today's (10/25) build. I had to make a
number of adjustments to bring it into compliance with our build
requirements:

1. The 4th place version number should be 200610241, where the final "1"
indicates the first version built on that date. (See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/DTP_Development_Guidelines section
"Plug-in version updates" for details).

2. I changed the build script to make it a single jar. (See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/DTP_Development_Guidelines section "Jar
Plug-ins" for details).

I have also created two Bugzilla entries for this plug-in:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162228 (Exception when trying
to add driver lib to classpath)

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=162229 (How to handle
dependency on JDT?)

Hi all...

This is to let you know that we've added a new plug-in to Connectivity for
version 1.0 - org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.jdt.

This new plug-in adds the ability (requested by BZ 117318 - Libraries for
Driver Definition) to re-use an existing driver instance's jar list as a
classpath container in a Java project. This allows users to use their
driver jars within Java projects easier, by simply consuming an existing
driver instance.

To access this new functionality, with the new plug-in in your workbench,
open the Properties (from the context menu) for a Java project. On the Java
Build Path property page, select the Libraries tab and click the Add
Library button. There's a new library type - Connectivity Driver Instance.
Select it and click Next. Select an available Driver Instance and click
Finish. In your Java project, you will see a new reference to the jars in
the driver instance you selected alongside the JRE System Library and
Plug-in Dependencies.

You can also edit an existing Connectivity Driver Instance library by
selecting it and clicking Edit on the Libraries tab of the Java Build Path
property page for a Java project. Change the selected driver instance and
click Finish to update it.

John, this will need to be added to the nightly builds if you get a chance.

Thanks.
