Integrating a 3rd party jar library into Eclipse project

[redmotion]

I've got an eclipse project exported, I need to add a .jar library which contains an API that I need Shiva to send and recieve data from.

Do I need to create a plugin for this that will act as a wrapper or is there another way?

If yes, (I've never made a wrapper before), would the right approach be to create a Shiva plugin in Shiva, add the 3rd parties API commands as new shiva commands, then add calls to the library functions inside the exported plugin functions?

Thanks.

There are 3 options I know of:

1)Plugin
2)Events
3)system.callClientFunction

1)Depending on what you do, it is not done with creating a plugin.
You probably also have to modify e.g. the Android manifest.

2)We use this a lot, maybe check out http://www.stonetrip.com/developer/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=23252

3)It's there, but I havent really played with that.
