Editing a Manifest

You can edit a manifest from the Project Explorer.

Procedure

  1. In the Project Explorer view, double-click the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file of the Java component implementation's plug-in project.
    The manifest file opens in the manifest editor.
  2. Click the Runtime tab.
  3. In the Exported Packages pane, select all the packages and click Remove.
  4. Click Add....
    The Exported Packages dialog displays.
  5. In the Exported Packages dialog, click the package containing the component implementation's classes and click OK.
    The package is added to the Exported Packages list.
  6. Click Properties.
  7. In the Version field, set the version to the same value as that of the Java component implementation plug-in, without the literal "qualifier" component.
  8. Click the MANIFEST.MF tab. If there is a Bundle-Localization attribute, click the Build tab and ensure that the plugin.properties checkbox is checked.
  9. Save the manifest file.
