Description David Cok CLA 2004-10-15 22:34:44 EDT
I have a workspace that contains two plugin projects (A and B).  They both have source folders src
and lib, but B/lib is a linked source folder pointing to A/lib (the folder contains library code shared by
the two plugins).  This arrangement works fine for editing, compiling and testing the two plugins.  
However, an attempt to export project B fails.  The plugin.xml's runtime page lists both source folders
as contributors to the plugin jar file (which works properly for project A, and for B if the linked source
folder is replaced by a non-linked one); with the linked source folder however, an error occurs 
complaining that the source folder does not exist.

This is on Eclipse 3.0.

The export happens via a Feature project that lists project B as one of the plugin projects making up 
the feature.
