| [epp-dev] A few questions about Eclipse packages |
Hi All, I have a few questions regarding features id for packages. I am currently building the new compare page[1] dynamically and I noticed some inconsistencies. I expected that all packages would include org.eclipse.rcp but that's not the case, for example, it's missing from java/report and automotive: I am curious about the role of feature ids; Are they needed to build the packages or is the only purpose to list them on the package detail page[2]? Also, for each feature on the compare package page[1] I am verifing if the package is including the source. I do that by checking if a feature id exists with a ".source" suffix. For example: org.eclipse.rcp & org.eclipse.rcp.source Can I rely on this standard or is it possible that some features could use a different suffix for the source. I am also looking for some feedback on the list of features to show on the compare packages page[1], package details page[2] and the new filter functionality[3]. This XML[4] is a list of all the features we want to list on the compare package[1] and the package detail page[2]. I am thinking we might want to restrict the new filter functionality[3] with the same list of features. I am also open to creating a separate list for each of those pages. Finally, I would like to know if the list that I am currently using is good or should I add/remove some items. Thanks! Christopher Guindon |
