Hi there, I am using the Eclipse Europa RCP platform and lately installed the Apache Derby Eclipse plug-ins.
Now I have a few questions: 1) Since I also have the javaDB installed (Java 1.6) why should I use the plug-in ? I notice that the same jar files are available ? 2) Is it not better to download Apache Derby and install it, instead of the javaDB 3) My third question is a bit more complex and is about using the Derby plugin outside of my eclipse installation using a link file in my eclipse environment that points to the directory where the plugp-in is installed. I have created a separate directory where I unzipped the Apache Derby plug-in. The structure of the directory is eclipse-extension\eclipse\plugins\ .... I added the Apache Derby plug-in's in this directory and I created a .eclipseextension file. Later I created a link file in my eclipse \link directory. I restarted Eclipse and checked whether the plugins were available using Help > About Eclipse SDK > Plugins ... and indeed they are shown. Now I created a simple HelloWorld plug-in and the moment I try to add the Derby nature I get an error message saying that my project is missing the required libraries ... org.apache.derby.core derby.jar, derbyclient.jar, derbynet.jar, derbytools.jar When I look into the properties of my project under Java Build Path I can see the derby jar-files are available. I can also see that the Plug-in dependencies include these jar-files. The error log says also the project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved . I tried afterwards the same thing but now I did not use a link file but the product configuration manager using add extension location, the problem remains. When I add the plugins to the Eclipse plugin directory there is no problem. What is wrong here and what is the best approach to follow ? regards, Danny -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Derby-Eclipse-Plug-in-versus-JavaDB-or-Apache-Derby-tf4532739.html#a12935407 Sent from the Apache Derby Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
