Hints and pitfalls

  1. You can also use a SVN client like Subversive to check out the repositories. But make sure the repositories are configured as Plugins-Projects within Eclipse. In some cases they will not be recognized as Plug-in Projects. We recommend to import the plug-ins via File -> Import -> Plugin-Development -> Plug-ins and Fragments, after that you can use Subversive to update the project.
  2. If you get "FileNotFoundExceptions" or "ClassNotFoundException" please check the class path setting ("Bundle-ClassPath") in your MANIFEST.MF files and just use a dot (.) here. We already set the dot here but in some cases it will be modified by Eclipse.
