Description Curtis Windatt CLA 2012-01-03 16:14:13 EST 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #355890 +++

Currently bundles in the target platform are recognized by PDE only if they have an extension of 'jar'.
Can that be more flexible ? If I have a bundle with proper structure and a Manifest but the extension is a 'war' or a 'zip' can PDE recognize it ?

Three changes must be backported, the main fix, the fix to the tests and the fix from bug 367164.

I haven't had the fail-fast behaviour or NPE found during 3.8 M5.  Broken zips, missing bundles, etc. are all working.

Mike tried out some scenarios as well and found no problems.
