Re: [pde-build-dev] Unpacked versus packed plugins

Packed jars with embedded jars cannot be handled by the compiler.
You need to unpack those in your target platform.

Hi,
I have some difficulties with plugins that are installed as jars and
that in themselves contains jar files. Here's my usecase.

I have a plugin that is dependent on packages that are exported from one
of the jars contained in the org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core
plugin. Although this plugin is installed in my target platform, is
enabled and functional, my plugin doesn't compile. If I however import
the plugin into my workspace (using import projects with source
folders), then everything compiles without errors immediately.

If I now start a self-hosted Eclipse IDE from the one where I have an
imported subclipse.core, the hosted IDE again fails to find the classes
at runtime. In order to rectify this, I need to change my launch
configuration and uncheck the subclipse.core plugin from "Workspace
plugins" and instead check it the one found in "Target Platform".

The problem is the same in both Eclipse 3.2.x and 3.3M5

I've mentioned this to the Subclipse team. They claim that this is an
Eclipse bug. I haven't managed to find the bugzilla for it. Is there one
or should I enter one?

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
