I have projects divided in various plugins but even doing this my plugin.xml files are growing huge, especially when starting to use conditions on the various extension points.

Is there a way to split the plugin.xml file, using a kind of 'import' mecanism or some extension file ?

Thanks

Bruno

Hi Sinou,
Have you found the answer? I made only a script that merge sub-module description into one plugin.xml.

The PDE Editor wouldn't be able to work with your plugin.xml split into smaller files, at least not very well.

Does using XML entities allow you to suck in the smaller fragments during runtime?

Sorry,
I haven't seen your question. I was evoking my script automatically in compile-time. At least, I could well organize my plugin.xml during development. I didn't need to look into huge final file.

Is the script used for merge files into plugin.xml based on XSLT? And is it run as ANT task at compile time?

It would be really helpful if you can share the script with everybody.


Thanks

Hi Marek,

Is the script you developed for this purpose based on XSLT? And is it run as an ANT task?

I would be really helpful if you can share your script or post a snippet on how you are merging the files into plugin.xml file at compile time.
