Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-12-14 18:41:43 EST 
The general convention for Eclipse bundles is to use an "internal" segment in the package name to denote packages that are not API, i.e. are not intended to be accessed by clients and are exported as x-internal in the Manifest. The Reviews project should follow this convention.
Comment 1 Kilian Matt CLA 2011-01-06 06:48:03 EST 
Sound reasonable, I'll implement this in the TBR projects
Comment 2 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-01-07 17:35:24 EST 
Can we at the same time tackle bug 332592  and bug 332593 as well?
Comment 3 Kilian Matt CLA 2011-01-16 09:54:32 EST 
It is implemented for TBR core plugin, the internal package is still visible to the ui until I've a nice API for that.

Is it ok, if i put everything in the ui plugins in the internal namespace?
Comment 4 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-01-16 17:35:07 EST 
Great! Absolutely fine with me. We usually treat connector core and UI as one component, i.e. make the UI a friend of core and don't export any public API. Since the UI is inherently tightly coupled to the corresponding core I wouldn't necessarily bother with API at all.
Comment 5 Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-02-05 05:14:25 EST 
Moving to TBR since is mostly done for the framework bundles.
