Build Identifier: 20100617-1415 Hi, I downloaded a HSQLDB plugin for eclipse from sourceforge and copied the files to the plugins directory in the eclipse plugin folder. It contained two directories hsqldb.core and hsqldb.ui To deploy the plugin I opened command prompt and navigated to the plugin directory of eclipse and then to hsqldb.ui (E:\eclipse\plugins\hsqldb.ui)and ran the command: E:\eclipse\plugins\hsqldb.ui>"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin\jar" cvs ui.jar -C bin . This created a ui.jar in eclipse\plugins\hsqldb.ui directory. All's find now, but after restarting eclipse I got at least a 100 errors and got an error in manifest.mf file of the current project I was working in. Surprisingly its not there in other projects. These errors are in all the java files and manifest.mf file. The error says "cannot export packages prefixed with java" And the error is in all the import statements, for eg, import javax.servlet.jsp.JspException; Now the plugin was deployed like it should be and that id how everyone I know have done it. The funny thing is I am not even getting the link for the plugin. Reproducible: Didn't try
I don't believe your issue is with Plug-in Development Environment (PDE), which is used to develop plug-ins. The steps to install hsqldb seem a little unusual, so if you are having issues with it, perhaps you can ask one of the developers? Closing as NOT_ECLIPSE.
