plugin.xml created by PDE for plug-in with sample help contents [message #21115] Thu, 11 September 2008 13:06 Go to next message

Hi,

Just want to confirm that this is proper or a bug.

After using the 3.4 PDE's new plug-in creation to create the Plug-in
with sample help contents, I look into the plugin.xml it created and it
has this line:
<?eclipse version="3.2"?>

even though I said the targeted plug-in was for 3.4.

Why wouldn't the line be:
<?eclipse version="3.4"?>
if I specified targeting 3.4 in the PDE Plug-in Project creation?

Does that line not matter anymore with the introduction of the manifest?

Thanks!
Lee Anne

That version just reflects the format of the file and is used internally
by PDE. It has nothing to do during the actual runtime of that
plugin.xml and is just a tooling artifact.
