Hi
I am trying to build a collaborative editor plug-in which will be built based on Docshare plug-in.
I want to add extra features on the top of Docshare but because Docshare comes with ECF(Eclipse Communication Framework) at default, I do not know how to enable my own plug-in instead of Docshare.
Is it possible to disable Docshare while keeping ECF?
or is it possible to add ecf plug-ins as dependencies without installing ECF? I can't seem to figure out how to add external plug-ins as it only allows plug-ins from /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins
Thanks in advance..
p.s. I am using galileo version of eclipse

Hi,
why not just provide a patch for the docshare implementation itself?
That way you get around all the hassle with fragments, target platforms
and whatnot and the community benefits from your work too. :)
To get started just file an enhancement request in bugzilla [0] and
provide a patch. Alternatively you might want to clone the ECF git repo [1].
