OSGi bundles (eclipse plugins are bundles) can only see their own code and other bundles. They can't see random 3rd party jars unless they're included (license permitting) within that bundle, or the 3rd party jars are turned into OSGi bundles themselves (the preferred method).

"i tried a lot of solution" doesn't help. Please update your question with the configuration you started with and 1 or 2 solutions (complete steps) you've already tried, like the MANIFEST.MF files that they generated, etc

If it's actually a Java project, first you need to actually convert it to an Eclipse plug-in project ("Configure > Convert to plugin project" in context menu for your project). Then follow advice in http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipseJarToPlugin/article.html to fix dependency problem.
