[eclipse-dev] Planning Meeting Notes - Feb 14, 2007

[Mike Wilson <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

------------------
 Discussion Topic
------------------

Workspace:
- We are working towards adding an org.eclipse.core.net
plug-in
  which will manage proxy settings. Associated
with the settings
  will be a preference page to allow the user
to specify the
  proxy settings. In the past, such preference
pages typically
  ended up in the IDE plug-in. However, one could
make the case
  that the page should be in a separate plug-in
(e.g.
  org.eclipse.ui.net) so that RCP clients could
choose to
  include both the Core and UI parts without
including IDE.
  What do people think of this?
