Just to be sure we are talking about the same things.
For compatibility with existing projects and existing workspaces, we should **not** rename most IDs, and keep the existing 'ilg.gnumcueclipse.*' ones.
Initially I had a small problem with this, since most of the IDs were derived from the Activator.PLUGIN_ID string, which is manually defined to match the bundle name.
Now the IDs have their own separate definitions and most of them (all?) preserve the 'ilg.gnumcueclipse.' prefix. (and makes questionable the need for Activator.PLUGIN_ID).
From the point of view of the code 'cleanness', I don't like this very much, but given the undesirable effects that changing the IDs have, I'm afraid we have to live with this inconsistency.
