Re: [jdt-dev] Recurring 'depedencies' questions (was Re: Writing Tests for JDT Text Tests)
|
Rephrasing my answer:
We shouldn't trouble new JDT contributors by giving them partial advice and
hints to a PDE feature that could be implemented in the future (not doubting the
value of it).
For now we should simply advertise the solution we already have:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Code_Setup_Using_Oomph
(and ask for feedback if anything in them is amiss)

Oomph is not the only entry point in the IDE, and guessing that it can be used
for JDT is not obvious to everyone. We need -as an addition- something any user
can leverage relatively easily independently of the entry point.
Additionally Oomph files require maintenance and could be erroneous or out of
date. Improving PDE on the matter of discovering how to get missing dependencies
could be a one time investment that would cover a part of the story decently,
and also other use-cases externally to Platform.

setups don't succeed in creating an error free workspace, then the setups need
fixing. That's all.
