Description Philipp Kursawe CLA 2010-01-25 05:32:47 EST 
When renaming the EP schema file in the /schema/ folder, the reference in the plugin.xml to this file is not updated.
I do not know how essential the entry in the plugin.xml is for runtime or design time.

It seems also that renaming of the EP id is not propagated to the plugin.xml. Which makes me wonder, why there are 2 places for this kind of information in the first place? Wouldn't it be easier if PDE would just parse in all exsd files, which already contain the informations about the EP, and have not a separate entry in the plugin.xml?
