How To Set Up Dependencies ?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. download the latest source
2. set it up in eclipse classic
3. attempt to get everything to compile

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I apparently need to add at least three major dependency plugins
- draw2d
- org.json
- org.apache.commons.httpclient

Figured out how to use the 3.4 update manager to add draw2d by pointing to
the GEF update site and adding that portion. But the other two so far have
not been so easy

Found the httpclient in the orbit but two problems
- which of the two httpclient projects ?
- how to get that added through the update manager ?

This whole p2 and update manager change has me a bit confused anyway, it
doesn't seem to be a very well designed interface, not sure.

The org.json dependency I have so far not found.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

vista

Please provide any additional information below.

I am trying to bring along a few open source developers who are not yet
eclipse plugin developers, so making this process well documented and
repeatable for novices would be a boost.

As a follow up, I did try copying both jars from the working xmind, and placed 
them 
in the dropins directory of the ganymede that I am using to compile the source 
in. 
There is probably another step I need to do ?

The org.apache.common.httpclient plugin comes along with 'Eclipse for 
RCP/Plugin Developers' 
(http://www.eclipse.org/downloads), or may be found in Ganymede update site, I 
guess.

The org.json plugin is not part of XMind's source code, but you can copy the 
jar file from the standalone XMind 
application. The dropins directory is to some degree not so reliable. I suggest 
you copy them directly into the 
plugins directory like former ways. May that be working.

I think we could close this issue.
