Import plugin in java view

Classic Servoy
1

Hi all,

I quite sure this topic has been posted as I can’t imagine no one hasn’t asked.
But I’m having trouble finding it so I would appreciate someone point me the way. :?
The problem is how to import a plugin (.jar) to the Java view in Servoy 5.1.2 as I would like to change some of the functionalities of the default plugins inculded in Servoy whitout using another IDE.
According to the Import wizard there is no way to do this as the .jar file option does not appear.

Ideas??

Thanks :D

Thanks david but I’ve already read this tutorial and it was not helpful to solve my problem. :?
I don’t need to create a new plugin, but to load a .jar plugin into my workspace.
The plugin is already done by servoy guys, I just need to change it a little.
Other solutions??

I fear it doesn’t work like that. You don’t “load a plugin into your workspace”. You don’t “change a little” a jar file…

In Eclipse (Serclipse or pure Eclipse), you need to create a Java project, then put the sources of the jar as the sources of your project (in /src), then you change the code and finally you create another jar.
That’s how you do it: it becomes your project and must be treated as such…

And also don’t forget that you will have to sign the jar, because you will not be able to ‘replace’ the class in a signed jar.

Hi Patrick,

Too bad this is the only way to go… :?
I’ll have to start by creating my own proyect then.
Thanks for the reply. :D
