[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: run configuration and dlls

["Chris Laffra" <Chris_Laffra@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is simple: put the dll in a proper subdirectory in your plugin.

See how WorkingSetLocker does it (which as natives for Windows).
It s a plugin that, of course, does not require you to pass arguments to
eclipse to make it run.
See http://www.eclipsefaq.org/chris/tips/ and
