Re: [ease-dev] Regarding Bug 511525
|
Hi Prash,
I see that Lars has answered your question on eclipse-dev[1]. However,
I recommend having a read about p2[2,3,4]. p2 is the
installer/dependency/etc mechanism for adding/removing
plug-ins/features to an Eclipse installation. Eclipse p2 == Eclipse
provisioning platform.
That is what the add & update features in Eclipse use, and is probably
the most (only?) suitable solution for (semi-)automatically adding new
features into Eclipse based on the new dependency keyword from Bug
511525.
The manual gives you some specific help on using the API, including a
code sample on installing a new thing programatically[5]

[5] http://help.eclipse.org/neon/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_api_overview.htm?cp=2_0_20_0
PS. It would really help when sorting through my emails if the subject
line of the email said more than a bug number. For example, the last
three conversations on ease-dev have the same "Regarding Bug 511525"
subject, with no addition detail in the subject line. Perhaps "Bug
511525: where is source for About Eclipse code?" would make it easier
for readers to differentiate this conversation from the earlier ones.
HTH,
Jonah
