Runtime dependencies not added to classpath

Hello Julien,

In fact the plugin classloader is supposed pick up all classes from the plugin's
lib directory automatically, regardless of whether they're passed in the
command line classpath.

My plugin has jar dependencies, which I just put in a libs/ folder in
the plugin module. I then added lib/ as a jar dependency folder of the
module, with scope "runtime". But when I run it with a default Plugin
run configuration, I get NoClassDefFounds on the library jar classes.
It looks like they are not added to the sandbox IDE classpath:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java -Xms512m -Xmx2048m
-XX:MaxPermSize=500m
-Xbootclasspath/a:/opt/intellij-idea/idea-IC-99.32/lib/boot.jar
-Didea.config.path=/home/nicoulaj/.IntelliJIdea10/system/plugins-sandb
ox/config
-Didea.system.path=/home/nicoulaj/.IntelliJIdea10/system/plugins-sandb
ox/system
-Didea.plugins.path=/home/nicoulaj/.IntelliJIdea10/system/plugins-sand
box/plugins -Didea.launcher.port=7539
-Didea.launcher.bin.path=/opt/intellij-idea/idea-IU-99.32/bin
-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -classpath
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/lib/tools.jar:/opt/intellij-idea/idea-IC-99.32
/lib/idea_rt.jar:/opt/intellij-idea/idea-IC-99.32/lib/idea.jar:/opt/in
tellij-idea/idea-IC-99.32/lib/bootstrap.jar:/opt/intellij-idea/idea-IC
-99.32/lib/extensions.jar:/opt/intellij-idea/idea-IC-99.32/lib/util.ja
r:/opt/intellij-idea/idea-IC-99.32/lib/openapi.jar:/opt/intellij-idea/
idea-IC-99.32/lib/jdom.jar:/opt/intellij-idea/idea-IC-99.32/lib/log4j.
jar:/opt/intellij-idea/idea-IU-99.32/lib/idea_rt.jar
com.intellij.rt.execution.application.AppMain com.intellij.idea.Main

I see the library jars are well deployed to
~/.IntelliJIdea10/system/plugins-sandbox/plugins/myplugin/lib.

I tried a lot of things, ticking/untickting "export", changing
dependency scope, referencing jars one by one... Without success.

Am I missing something obvious or is this a bug ? (running IDEA 1.0.2)

OK, got it, the library I used was loaded but did nasty things with Classloaders. Sorry for the newbie question and thanks for the answer !

I have the same problem.  In my case, I keep a common directory for all my application property files (i.e. c:\property_files).  I have included this directory as a Global Library (Attach Jar Directories).  I have then added this as a dependency to my module.

When I run the application, the "c:\property_files" directory is not within my classpath.

I have seen this as a problem with both 10.0.2 and 10.0.3 early release.

Hello Johnnie,

"Attach Jar Directories" adds all .jar files contained in the specified directory
to the classpath. If the property_files directory does not contain any .jar
files, you should use "Attach Classes" rather than "Attach Jar Directorie".
