Re: [tycho-dev] Generate a.jre.javase into content.xml
|
Hi Jan,
Thanks for the info. I think the correct solution would be how PDE
validates the Target-Platform. It allows to set a EE and knows exactly
the information.
It simply has to generate the correct IU for and pass it on to the
IPlanner which would then resolve thing appropriately.
I've pinged https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=284465 and
will try to come up with a patch for M6.
