Re: [platform-dev] Extensibility of the application model
I'm currently investigating on how this could be done, but any tips are welcome. 

Current plan is:
- create builder that scans manifest and add error markers (e.g. file not present), and scans for plugin.xml with "old" fragemnt registration - add qucik-fix to the marker to help assisting in fix the problem (e.g. convert plugin.xml->manifest header) 
- add auto completion support to Manifest.MF
If anyone is aware of extension points that could be reused, or any other tips are welcome.

Well, is it possible to contribute code completion etc to the pde manifest editor from the outside? Adding it in pde would be wrong in terms of dependency as pde is about osgi and not platform. Or is my understanding here incorrect?
Also afaik the manifest editor does not even support that for important osgi headers like Require-Capability. Not sure if anybody knows how to extend that editor. 

@Mickael
You as an editor expert, do you know what needs to be done and how?

            Mickael, what would need to be done to accept this new strategy?


        Commitment that quality tools (at least
        completion/hover/validation in textual MANIFEST editor) and
        documentation (everywhere the model fragment is referenced in
        eclipse.platform.common repository, including in the extension
        point) gets added ASAP.
