I have an eclipse application which loads a file from a folder. When I export the project and run it, the folder is only compiled binary in a jar file. But I want to edit the file after the export and so I need it in the product directory and not inside a jar.
The folder is checked in the build.properties which should be the right way but it still does not work.
Does anyone know where else to configure that the folder is exported as a real folder?
Thanks for your help!

    If I understand you correctly, you want to install the plug-in in the “unpacked” form rather than in the “jar” form. This way the folders of the plug-in project in the Eclipse IDE, will also be “physical” folders when the plug-in is installed in an Eclipse framework.

    This can be accomplished in a number of ways, whether the most portable currently seems to be to add the line Eclipse-BundleShape: dir to the MANIFEST.MF file. (Some tools – most notably Tycho – does not understand the alternatives.)
