we have some dependent/common jars of the plugin which we are currently placing in .lib of ContentNavigator application and referring the same in build.xml of ContentNavigator. while we placed the jars in local and tried to give the local path in build.xml it didn't worked out.Can anyone suggest what is the recommended way of doing it?

Have you added them into the classpath?​ And meybe you can try also try adding the jar path to the manifest file of the plug-in jar.

Thanks,

Jason​
