[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: RPC application dependent on Java Projec

[IlBalla <ilballa@xxxxxxxx>]

I solved my concern this way (comments are welcome):

1) MyAppDeps is a plugin created from existing JAR files (WITHOUT 
decompressing them)
2) In MyAppDeps I added a link to the sources of MyProject (context-menu 
on MyAppDeps | Build Path | Link Additional Source to Project). This 
step is NOT allowed if the JAR files of step 1) were decompressed (?!?)
3) In MyAppDeps I added all MyProject packages to the exported ones 
(Runtime tab of plug-in editor)
4) MyApp has a dependency on MyAppDeps

This way every change at My project is immediately reflected to MyApp.
