Adding external jar to the eclipse rcp

First I have created the plug-in project using "plug-in from existing jar archive". and I added this plug-in in my eclipse rcp application through "plug-in.xml --> dependencies --> required plugins --> add .

When i doing so and run the application, it not even recognise the eclipse core apis and it throws the error like:

If you use a jar file, create a plugin from it, it won't know the Eclipse API by default.

Either you have to define an RCP application from it (thus creating your entry point), and use it in a RCP target platform, and then you can use most of the Eclipse API.

For detailed description about Eclipse RCP I suggest the tutorial at vogella.de
