Access jar from one eclipse plugin in another plugin

How can I access a jar file in plugin A while the jar is available in another plugin B.

I added plugin B as dependency to plugin A but it seems not working. Actually the plugin B is just a wrapper plugin which contains the jar file and I want this jar to be available in different plugins.

How can I achieve this in RCP application.

Edit

I added the jar under Runtime ->classpath in the manifest added all the packages under Runtime -> Exported Packages and in the plugin where I need it I added the wrapper plugin as dependency.

When I try to execute this code 

 try {
        Class.forName( "net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver" );
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

I get the following error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/healthmarketscience/jackcess/util/ErrorHandler

Thanks

In the MANIFEST.MF editor for the plugin containing the jar add the jar to the 'Classpath' on the 'Runtime' tab. You should then be able to export the packages in the jar in the 'Exported Packages' section.

These steps update the Bundle-ClassPath and Export-Package entries in the plugin MANIFEST.MF
