| Migrating 2.x plug-ins from plugin.xml to MANIFEST.MF... [message #84886] |

Hi,
The plug-ins that are currently in linuxtools's SVN repository still uses
the old 2.x mechanism of defining dependencies and such with the
plugin.xml file. I would like to upgrade them to OSGi's MANIFEST.MF
"format".
There are sections with 'runtime' XML elements that I do not know how to
migrate.
<runtime>
<library name="changelog.jar">
<export name="*"/>
</library>
</runtime>
How do I replace that XML element in the new MANIFEST.MF? Do I put
something like "Bundle-Classpath: changelog.jar"?
I also noticed some "optional" attributes in the "requires" element. How
do I replace these?
<requires>
<!-- ... -->
<import plugin="org.eclipse.cdt.ui" optional="true" />
<import plugin="org.eclipse.cdt.core" optional="true" />
</requires>
Thanks.
Regards,
Rem

If you right click on the plugin.xml (or the project) you should you find a
"convert" menu under PDE. It will do everything you need.

I tried that last night actually. Attempting to tell it to 'Migrate to
3.0' prompted me with a dialog stating that "There are no pre-Eclipse 3.0
plug-in projects to migrate." "Update Classpath" also did nothing useful
besides rearranging the contained XML elements in the .classpath file.

I asked on IRC and Paul Webster was nice enough to help me figure out what
was needed.

'Bundle-Classpath: changelog.jar' for the library, and the exporting is
just a matter of exporting every single package in the bundle.

This was solved with the resolution directive.
org.eclipse.cdt.ui;resolution:=optional,
org.eclipse.cdt.core;resolution:=optional,
