[News.eclipse.foundation] Re: Build Path problem

[Ed Merks <merks@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Con,

You probably should be building a plugin and not messing directly with 
the build path, particularly if you are trying to build something that 
will run as a plugin.   I think IAdaptable is in 
org.eclipse.equinox.common, but to create a properly functioning plugin, 
you should be editing the MANIFEST.MF and using the Dependencies tab to 
add dependencies on all the plugins you need.  You should use the 
newcomers, platform, or gef newsgroup for questions like this, not the 
foundation newsgroup, so please redirect your followup questions to one 
of those.
