Description
Ian Bull
As mentioned in pde-dev@ list, this may depend on CBI. Adding bug 238626 dependency. While I enjoy the UI that this utility creates, I question the value of adding this to the PDE proper. Is this not just window dressing on the data that is already available on the manifest editor and plug-in view? Seems like a better place for this would be in a collection of plug-in related utilities and not directly in the core development tool. Something like http://www.eclipse.org/nebula/ for plug-ins. There are probably a lot of these types of plug-in add-on tools that don't need to be added to the base PDE. This sounds reasonable, although maybe this is something the community should decide. From my understanding, graduating and making it part of PDE are two different things. Graduating the component just means that it is IP ready and blessed by the foundation (I think). I don't know if we can / should ship it with the PDE. With release trains (ganymede / Galileo, etc...), maybe we can just make the plug-in available, and then users who want / need this particular functionality (you call it window dressing), can install the plug-in.
