Description Pascal Rapicault

Support for JNLP has been added in M5. It generates a JNLP files mapping
existing features.
It we want to be really slick, we need to be able to generate the main JNLP file
from the information available in the product description.

sample jnlp file

this is a sample top-level jnlp file.  It points to another jnlp which is
directly generated from a feature (and which happens to then point to still
more jnlp files).  The information here is really an aggregate of config.ini
and launcher.ini information.

We (Pascal or I) should be able to create a generator for you to use.

I was trying to get community involvement here.
Even if we do it, the code would have to leave in PDE UI/Core since the product
model is there.

No one has shown any interest in working on this.  Closing as WONTFIX.
