This plugin is used to reference third party libraries in the top-level dart/third_party directory. It (and the com.google.dart.thirdparty plugin) should be the only place that reference the third_party directory, and use the Eclipse path variable DART_TRUNK to create Eclipse symlinks.

This plugin should only contains libraries required by _test projects.

When adding a library to this plugin, you should:

  • create a new linked folder in the lib folder, and use the DART_TRUNK path variable to link it to the associated third_party directory
  • add the jar to the plugin classpath using the manifest.mf editor's runtime tab
  • export the relevant packages (again using the runtime tab)
  • update the build files to remove the symlink during the build. See
