  • This isn't a jar, it is a special entry for the plugin dependencies list. It is normally shown as `Plug-in Dependencies` so there is something wrong with the project setup. How did you create the project? – greg-449 Dec 19 '13 at 21:58
  • I downloaded it. It's a eclipse plugin project here is the link http://community.versant.com/Documentation/Reference/db4o-7.12/java/reference/html/reference/sharpen/how_to_setup_sharpen.html – Ismail Sahin Dec 19 '13 at 22:00
  • Did you create the project or did you use the existing .project file? It looks like the project does not have the plug-in development `nature`. – greg-449 Dec 20 '13 at 08:17

To resolve the dependencies of this OSGi or Eclipse Plug-in project you need the Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE) tooling (which is obviously missing in your IDE):

  1. Help > Install New Software
  2. In Work with select --All Available Sites--
  3. Select Eclipse Plugin Development Tools
  4. Click Finish

Similar to Maven dependencies are specified by IDs/names with version ranges in a specific file (Maven: pom.xml; OSGi bundle / Eclipse plug-in: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF). Make sure all required plug-ins are in your target platform: Window > Preferences: Plug-in Development > Target Platform.
