Re: [pde-dev] Warnings about plugin.properties in src.includes

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Searching around, it appears this change was introduced in bug 286808 [1].
Essentially, the argument was, "source folders" (and other things) are included automatically in source bundle.

But, I'm not defending it. I find it confusing. I think "src.includes" means "things to included in the source bundle" (to be used later used by PDE to relate executable code back to its source) but, the confusing thing, it this is not necessarily everything that's required to build the project, from scratch?. Confusing.

So ... I'd suggest opening a bug if plugin.properties is not included automatically in a "source bundle" and you have use cases where it needs to be.

If it is, then I must have misunderstood something. AFAIK, the stuff listed in bin.includes aren't included in my 
generated source bundle. Further more, this warning appears even if I don't list the plugin.properties in my bin.includes.
