Why do I get a ClassNotFoundException when creating a new root context?

To help debug classpath problems, the plug-in writes to the Eclipse log when run in debug mode. The Eclipse log can be viewed with the "Error Log" view. To set debug mode, please refer to the Developer Guide, which also includes a detailled explanation of classpath issues.

What is the classpath that the plug-in uses?

This question is answered at length in the Developer Guide.

The plug-in does not work with [insert your favorite JNDI provider here]

Please see the Compatibility Notes for known issues with specific JNDI service providers.

The plug-in doesn't seem to do X. Can you implement it?

I'd love to, but the time I can spend on this project is unfortunately limited by mundane constraints such as making a living and seeing the sun shine. I may not get around to implementing your feature for a while, but I do my best to keep track of (and prioritize) feature requests in Defects & Tasks.

I am however available on an hourly basis for custom projects that would require altering this plug-in to meet specific requirements. Contact me directly.

Can we bundle this plug-in with our Eclipse-based commercial product?

Provided you honor the license agreement, you are welcome to. The exact terms and conditions under which this is allowed are best explained in the license itself.
