Hello Mike,
just for better understanding ... the example after your emphasis
.. what if the core purpose of this Eclipse software is to show
clickable URLs?

Works-with usually means that the product has an

follow the argument that Kura will only use it in an optional
bundle and thus Kura can work without it?
Just to add to this a little bit. David's reply on this point was
correct. That is only one half of the definition of works-with.
They can also be optional dependencies where the Eclipse code
works even if that dependency is not available.
From
https://www.eclipse.org/org/documents/Eclipse_Policy_and_Procedure_for_3rd_Party_Dependencies_Final.pdf
(emphasis added)
a) Works-with Dependencies:
i. The Eclipse software does not require the
third party software to be present. If the third party
software happens to be present, the Eclipse software may
call or invoke it. Example: If a web browser is
present, clicking on URL's in Eclipse will cause the user's
configured web browser to open the URL.
or
ii. The Eclipse software is designed to work with multiple
third party software choices that provide similar
functionality - the choice of which to use is up to the user.
At least one of those must be a prerequisite (see below) or
approved by the EMO for distribution by the project. Example:
If a project requires a persistence mechanism, it can allow
the user to select from several different implementations.
Hope that helps!
