Tritonus in RCP Application

Hey there,

About a year ago I switched one of my applications from Swing to Eclipse RCP. Since then it won't accept any MP3 files anymore, by saying: "Unsupported Audio Format". Today I figured out why! I'm using a jar file from tritonus.org to handle MP3 files, as Java by itself is not able to handle MP3 files. This worked perfectly in the Swing environment. Problem with Eclipse RCP is, that it has it's own Class-loading mechanism and therefore this Code won't load the required class:

Code:

JDK13Services.getProviders(AudioFileReader.class);

The necessary class is available, but it's missing as a Provider. It's not possible to add the missing class to the list of providers, from my point of view. I wondered if anyone ever had the same or a similar problem!?

Thanks in advance, Sebastian

Resolved!

Use the mp3spi.jar from Java News - JavaZOOM. It won't make the Mp3Reader available through JDK13Services, but you can handle MP3 files separately from others (wave, midi, etc...)
