Spoon plugin libraries

Hi all,


I have a Spoon plugin which has dependencies to certain third party
libraries. The plugin is mainly like the saleforce plugin, my problem is
when I place the libraries within the the plugin folder and set it in the
plugin.xml, those required classes are not visible in the executing
classpath and I had to copy all the jar files to the libext folder. To keep
the libext clean, I want to make a folder for my plugin's jar files within
the libext folder, like the existing common and saleforce, I tried it but it
doesn't pick up my jar files.


Is there any setting which I'm missing?


Many thanks,
Pooyan

Hi Pooyan,

These days it's easiest to simply use Java annotations to configure your
plugins.
For example, look at the source code of the AgileBI visualisation plugin:

In any case... your own classes, deployed in a jar file in a plugins/spoon
folder can live next to a lib/ folder. All the jar files in that folder are
automatically included in the classpath of your plugin. So that is the
answer to the riddle you had.

HTH,

Matt
