Description Pascal Rapicault CLA Friend 2005-05-31 15:45:24 EDT 
The plugin converter is not capable of generating manifest for the nested jars
of a jared plugin.
This should be added in the readme.

Mike please add this to your batch update for the README.

Potential Problems Converting Plug-in Manifests

If your plug-in ships with a plug-in manifest and not an OSGi bundle manifest,
is shipped as a JAR file, and contains a nested JAR file then there may be
problems in the automatic generation of the bundle manifest file. The packages
defined in the nested JAR may not be exported correctly in the Export-packages
bundle manifest header. To work around this you should ship your plug-in with a
bundle manifest.
Comment 2 DJ Houghton CLA Friend 2005-06-17 09:35:24 EDT
