Description Andrew Overholt CLA 2011-04-28 14:14:38 EDT 
Keeping startup.jar around makes it less likely that people will properly use the equinox executable JAR.  It hasn't existed upstream for a while.  AFAIK only pdebuild.sh uses it.  How do people feel about removing it?
Comment 1 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2011-04-28 16:44:20 EDT 
I'm all for dropping it. The closer we are to upstream the better.

efj needs to be fixed too
Otherwise it looks good.
Comment 5 Andrew Overholt CLA 2011-04-29 10:29:49 EDT 
I don't think efj is in eclipse-build yet, is it?
Comment 6 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2011-04-29 10:39:47 EDT 
Sorry you're right, it's not but I was thinking of the fedora packages :)
Comment 7 Andrew Overholt CLA 2011-04-29 10:48:39 EDT 
Should be fixed in 2edc608c0bd9817f0964c888ae34618931e134dc.
