I've been out of town and am just getting back to this. My thanks again to the folks who have sent me suggestions on this problem.
I'm afraid that I still belong to the camp that views OSGi class loaders as EVIL :-) but perhaps I'll come along in time as I learn more about this environment. Right now, I'm still stuck. So I will apologize in advance for treating this mailing list a bit like "Remedial Eclipse 101", but also offer the excuse that I think that this is an issue that others will encounter and so go ahead and ask my question anyway with the hope that I am not just asking for myself, but for the user community as a whole... now there's a rationalization if ever I've seen one :-) Following the suggestions from earlier postings, I created a big plug-in to hold all the GeoTools jar files and configured my run dialog appropriately. Things looked good for awhile, but now I realize that Eclipse can't find one of the JAI classes when I try to create a StreamingRenderer. (specifically: javax.media.jai.util.Range). So this naturally leads to two questions. The first is how do I include the JAI classes in my plug-in? The second is a little more troubling to me. For whatever reason, when Eclipse detects that it can't load the class, it throws a ClassNotFound exception... but it also handles the exception internally and never gives me any indication of what's going on. I imagine that there is some kind of configuration option you can set to tell it to report the problem, but I haven't found it. This seems like a silly design choice (it's hard to fix fatal errors when your development environment does its level best to hide them from you), so I'm sure there's a way to disable it. Thanks in advance for your help. Gary Gary W.
