#9 antlr.jar not automatically referenced

[Anonymous]

On both windows and linux when i install the plugin I
dont get an association with the antlr.jar for the project.

After the .java files are created by antlr Eclipse
moans about not being able to import antlr.

Im fixing it by hand atm by adding antlr.jar as an
external jar.

What do you expect to be done by antlreclipse?

- Creating an entry in a project's "Java Build Path/Libraries"
which points to antlr.jar stored the "org.antlr" Eclipse plugin.
This only makes sense for Eclipse plugins which are using
ANTLR internally.

- Guessing a location of 'antlr.jar' which is part of the project,
e.g. by examining all jars in the project.

- Prompting for an external jar.

I've set up the next big release to automatically add the
antlr.jar via a new ANTLR_HOME classpath variable (which
the plugin sets up)

This can be closed. I verified that the jare is associated
with the project. However, I don't know if that's the
correct solution. Your generated parsers/scanners will never
work outside of the Eclipse workspace because the jar is not
available there.

There are two options if you want to deploy your project as
Eclipse plug-in:

1. Provide the jar inside your project
2. Provide an org.eclipse.antlr plug-in and make your
plug-in depend on it

I'm going to look into copying the antlr jar into the
project and referencing it that way. I may not get to this
for a while though.
