If you do that, though, be sure you only add that specific jar, so you
don't accidentally change other behavior of the IDE (for example, if
there
was a different version of xalan installed there).
And, also, be sure you *remove* the argument when the feature is
removed
(via unconfigure).
Paul Webster has an old blog entry that shows how to do this for a
different VM argument, if that helps.

Thanks for your answer David.
I think this is my backup if the manifest solution fails.
To play it safe, I would file a "works with" CQ. Ideally, you would
have
some other "runtime" available or plugable, in case people use a
different
VM or things change in the future. Or, something like ant does ...
where a
different ant runtime can be specified in preferences.
Of course, the road to better Eclipse IDE is paved with CQs.
In this case we are trying to use a JavaScript parser written in
JavaScript.
so for this purpose the runtime is neither pluggable or can be
specified.
I guess a Java8 VM without nashorn included is a possibility but I do
not think
it represents significant user base.

Sent by: cross-project-issues-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
Hi,
On JSDT project we are trying to utilize nashorn as runtime for
javascript based tool.
Nashorn is part of JDK8 and is shipped as nashorn.jar on lib/ext
folder
of jdk.
At the moment, it looks like Eclipse does not have access to the jar
files on the lib/ext folder
of the JDK. Is this by design? Is there a way for a bundle to get
Eclipse runtime give access to
lib/ext jars?
Thanks,
