Allowing Projects to Use Other Project's Resources

You can use another Project's Packages (and the objects within) for use in the current Project.

Before a Project can use another Project's resources, that Project must allow one or more of its Packages to be shared.

1. Expand the Project’s META-INF folder. Double-click its MANIFEST.MF file to display its Editor.
2. Select the Dependencies tab at the bottom.
   

   Note: There is already one dependency: com.extol.ebiprojectdependencies. Do not delete this; it is the object that enables sharing in the CIC Studio.

3. Click Add from the Required Plug-Ins section.
4. The Plug-In Selection window appears. In the filter bar, type the name (or part of a name) of the Package that houses the resources you want to use.

   Note: The window will not show any plug-ins until you type something in the filter bar.

5. Select the Package(s) that house the objects to be used, and click OK.
6. Click Save and close the editor.
