-buildpath PATH

The -buildpath instruction is the main mechanism to add build-time dependencies to a project. A dependency is either another project in the workspace, or a bundle in a repository. The -buildpath is only used during compile and build time; it is never used to run projects. Because -buildpath dependencies are only used compile time it’s recommended to add bundles containing only APIs; you don’t need bundles containing implementations.

Examples

An example of the -buildpath could be the following, where three dependencies are defined:

-buildpath: \
 some.other.workspace.project;version=project,\
 osgi.core;version=4.3.1,\
 osgi.cmpn;version=4.3.1
