[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Problem with classLoader afetr update fr

[Alex Blewitt <alex_blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

The 3.3 runtime was a little more strict in terms of what it would find on the classpath. Are you sure you exported the package from whichever bundle has it? Are the dependencies on that class visible to your bundle too?

Whether something runs in the IDE is not necessarily the same as what runs in Equinox standalone; the classloader is different in test mode due to looking at the files on disk (in small but potentially perceptible ways).

Have a look at the bundles (start with -console), see what bundles are resolved and what the wiring is for that package; ensure that it sees what you think it should see.

Also, it may not be that it can't find that class, but rather that it can't find something that that class depends on.
