Need help with adding a very basic widget library

[Fedor Biryukov]

I think I've found how to create a basic widget library and add it to the project. But I miss something...

If you see it - github commit - please help.

You need to create a new project to see your new widget library... Can anyone explain WHY?

my memory is fuzzy, but somehow the java server figures out what widget libraries are there by using Eclipse or OSGI mechanisms. I don't remember where to look in the code. It might be hard to find because Eclipse server reads an XML file or something and processes it inside of Eclipse logic, which I believe  isn't in the Maqetta code base.

Thank you, Jon!

Now that I read your reply, I see my message in a completely different light. I could have written a better question.

I know all the bits you need to set while making a new widget library, and I understand how it works. That is exactly why I posted my question.

Today I could dig a little bit deeper. And I found out that after adding a new widget library to maqetta source code, you need to create a new project in maqetta in order to use it. The new library is not loaded in old projects. I wonder why. I know how to change this behavior. I just wonder whether it is a conscious decision and if so what's the reasoning behind it.

Thanks again, Jon!

I personally wanted to remove the requirement for a new project, but we never got around to it. I felt it would be better to use either a Json file which lists the libraries or just look for libraries in a particular folder.
