Question

Here are the steps that I have completed.

1. Downloaded PDFRenderer.jar
2. Created lib folder in my Eclipse Plug-In Project
3. Copied the jar to the lib folder
4. Right Click Build Path -> Configure Build Path
5. Libraries Tab -> Add JARs -> Selected lib/PDFRenderder.jar file

Runtime Tab in MANIFEST.MF

6. Click Add -> Selected lib/PDFRenderder.jar
7. Click New -> New Library Name -> entered .
8. Built the Project – No Errors

Right Click Project

9. Export -> Deployable plug-ins and fragments -> Pick my plugin project name
10. Copy exported Project plug-in to my Teamcenter/plug-ins dir

When I run my plug-in project application, and try to access a command using a PDFRenderer command, I get following error.

org.eclipse.core.runtime – org.eclipse.ui – 0 – Unhandled event loop exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/pdfview/PDFFile

I know that it is not finding the PDFRenderer Library.
But I am not sure why it is not finding the class?

I am assuming that by adding the PDFRenderder.jar to the plug-in project Referenced library and adding that to the class path. It incorporates the PDFRenderder.jar in to my plug-in project jar file. I don’t have to copy PDFRenderder.jar to Teamcenter/plug-ins dir as well?

EDIT

Please see below

Error

Line 287 – PDFFile pdffile = new PDFFile(buf);

Everything seems to be in place to me. But I must be missing something

Answer 1

I could not get the above to work. So I created a plug-in using the external jar file. Added the plug-in the required Plug-ins. Exported the new plug-in jar to my target platform.

This has me up and running.
