Hi mps_beginner!
Regarding mps.LanguageLibrary, it specifies relative path to where modules will be searched for. It is relative to plugin root. That dir will be scanned and modules loaded into repository. So, in your case it's "/" which means the whole of plugin dir. So, all the modules you drop into plugin dir should be picked up.
Regarding the exception. If you look into your plugin directory (not the source, but the deployed bundle), can you find the class there? If yes, where is it?

Hi Daniil,

How about <mps.LanguageLibrary dir=""/>. Does it means it will not scan any of directory or it will just scan any default dir. I understand it will scan lib directory?Please suggest

Thanks

Hi Kunal
No, it would mean the same as "/" – the root of plugin dir.
For reference, see class PluginLibrariesContributor

   String libraryPath = pluginPath + library.dir;

where library.dir is exactly that xml argument
