[eclipse-dev] IMPORTANT: provider names changing to "Eclipse.org" for F2

[Jim_des_Rivieres@xxxxxxx]

All Eclipse component owners *must* change the provider name for their
plug-ins, plug-in fragments, and features to "Eclipse.org".

(1) Plug-ins:  The <plugin> element of plugin.xml should contain the
following attribute:

      provider-name="%providerName"

The corresponding plugin.properties file should contain the following line:

providerName=Eclipse.org

Note that the capitalization is important; big "E", little "o".

Since the org.apache.ant, org.apache.lucene, org.apache.xerxes, org.junit,
and org.eclipse.tomcat  plug-ins are all provided by eclipse.org, they
should be changed as well.

(2) Plug-in fragments are handled similarly: the <fragment> element of
fragment.xml should have the same provider-name attribute; and the line is
placed in the fragment.properties file.

(3) Features are handled the same way: the <feature> element of feature.xml
should have the same provider-name attribute; and the line is placed in the
feature.properties file.

Please make and release your changes at your earliest convenience and
before the F2 build later this week. This change is cosmetic and only
affects what the user sees in the about dialogs; there is no problem with
releasing these changes piecemeal.

Thanks,
jeem
