Hello PDE Team:
I have tried to find the right API calls to modify the Export-Package header of the MANIFEST.MF through the IModel API of the PDE. No luck so far. The only thing I found was the org.eclipse.pde.internal.core.ibundle.IBundle interface which happen to be internal.

How can my plug-in modify the MANIFEST.MF and in particular Export-Package through the nice IModel interface without using brute force such as modifying the file itself .

I would appreciate any hints or pointers.

Thanks
Stefan

What's brute force about using java.util.Manifest?
