Re: [equinox-dev] a future with futures

Hi Thomas and all,

I've attached a zip with new plugin org.eclipse.equinox.future with package naming as discussed, and patches for jobs and tests plugins to the original bug:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=253777

Just to avoid further potential for multi-bug confusion.

We seem to go back and forth on this practice.  If the package name
has internal in the name, does it also need provisional? The p2
bundles use both internal.provisional so that is likely what we should
do also.

Currently we have org.eclipse.core.tests.runtime which tests things like
jobs, registry, preferences, common etc. and org.eclipse.osgi.tests which
currently tests the framework and application model.

I suggest you place the tests in org.eclipse.core.tests.runtime for now.
You should probably open a bug against Equinox->Components to continue
this discussion.
