Howto create an Eclipse Library?

Question

Hi:

How do I convert my Eclipse plugin so it is seen in Eclipse as a Libary, like JUnit, for example?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

This would be taken care of by the Deploy step (from the excellent vogella.de tutorials section)

Switch now to your product configuration file and select the tab Overview. Click on the "Eclipse Product export wizard" to export your product.

Select the plugin you want to export.

This will create a jar in the directory plugin. Copy this jar to the "dropin" directory in your Eclipse installation directory and re-start Eclipse. Your plugin should now be available.
