Hi,
Our RCP product has dependencies to several Eclipse plugins which are
defined in several Eclipse features. These are
- all plugins from the org.eclipse.rcp feature
- some (but not all!) plugins from the org.eclipse.platform feature
(e.g.: we don't include team, debug, compatibility etc.
related plugins)
- org.eclipse.pde.runtime plugin from the org.eclipse.pde feature
(because of the Error log view.)
We want our users to be able to update the Eclipse plugins using the update
sites which are defined in the feature manifests. But because we don't
deliver all the plugins that belong to above mentioned features, we couldn't
decide whether to include o.e.platform and o.e.pde features.
We also think about an alternative: to make up an fake feature to embrace
all above mentioned plugins and provide the updates from our own update
site. Of course, as a developer I don't know about the legal issues
concerning this solution Our legal dep. will be reviewing this idea, but a
quick tip from you will be appreciated.
And now here goes my questions:
1. Is there a recommended way about this problem? When to include a
(partially required) feature and how?
2. Has anyone faced such problems, how did you solve it?
3. Is there plan to move the Error Log view into the eclipse RCP
feature?
Thanks in advance,
Yetkin

I don't think it is, but you might want to check with the foundation.
