All,
[ To recap, I’m on RDi 9.5.03, Java 8. I built a simple plugin for
inserting some text etc. I wanted / expected to be able to use the
same plugin on my colleagues machines (RDi 9.1.1, Java 7. ) and
hopefully just be copying the exported jar file to their plugin directory.
It works fine on my RDi 9.5.03 ]
Here is a little more ( albeit inconclusive ) information on this
plugin discussion…
Thomas gave me some interesting advice about removing the minimum
Execution Environment ( basically removing Java 1.8 from the
plugin.xml overview tab
) and also taking out any settings in the “Minimum/Maximum Version to
Match” from the Dependencies Tab.
I do understand the implications of doing this, but in my particular
narrow case, I believe I am familiar enough with the environments to
which I am exporting it to accept the risk.
Having done this, ( and reloaded etc ) I found that I could see my
plugin listed on the configuration details screen, but when Eclipse
loaded it listed an error: Class
co.uk.greywidget.lpexextensions.InsertDivision not found.
This just appears as text above the command line in the LPEX Text Editor.
Having browsed around a bit and had a play with the plugin and
manifest, I couldn’t really see what the problem was and so I gritted
my teeth and just built the plugin again with a different version from
my old 9.1.1 installation of RDi which matches my colleagues machines.
I was able to export the plugin from this version and copy it to their
plugin directories and it ran fine.
So I don’t know why taking out the dependency stuff works fine on
9.5.03 and allows the plugin to be loaded on 9.1.1 but results in a
Class Not Found error.
And I would like to understand it better as this stuff bugs me a lot
<looks over at Buck> but for now I’ll leave it be.
regards
Craig

features and an update site and all that for Eclipse 4.4? I'd love
to learn how to do it the approved way! I'm not asking you to
search for me, only if you've got one in front of you! :-)

is always a "registration" process that is required. So, today, I
did a little bit of reading on the Internet about Eclipse plugins
and relayed the two most pertinent comments I was able to find quickly.
