Baris,

In my understanding, this an Eclipse/Java question and not an RTC question...

Do you need to share this library with another plugin? and/or do you only need to provide this library to the code stored in your plugin?

You can find lots of literature on the subject. For example:
- http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Plug-in_Development_FAQ#I.27m_using_third_party_jar_files_and_my_plug-in_is_not_working...
- http://193.204.253.55/gargantini/didattica/eclipse/plugin_libs.html

Did I misunderstand something?

Hi Philippe,
yes you are right, I added my jar as referenced library. In my development environment, it is working now.
My question is, when I deploy the plugin to an rtc server, where should I place the jar?
Regards,

Did I misunderstand something?

Hi,
Yes, this was an Eclipse/Java question. I added lib to Manifest file and it has been deployed to server sucessfully.
Thanks,
