[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Runtime classpath problems

[Jed Anderson <jed_anderson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon,

You have a few options.

The most straight-forward option is to put the 5 jars in your plugin 
folder, and add references to them in the runtime tag of your 
plugin.xml.  For example:

   <runtime>
      <library name="myPlugin.jar"/>
      <library name="jar1.jar"/>
      <library name="jar2.jar"/>
      <library name="jar3.jar"/>
      <library name="jar4.jar"/>
      <library name="jar5.jar"/>
   </runtime>

If you want more than one plugin to use these jars, it might make sense 
to make small plugins for each jar and require the plugins in your 
plugin.xml.

Hope this helps.
