I also had a shot at building Eclipse plugins quite some time ago. I |
| 11 |
was focusing on third party plugins rather than the core Eclipse |
| 12 |
components but there is some overlap there. Ideally they should be |
| 13 |
built using the Eclipse PDE but last time I tried, unbundling the JARs |
| 14 |
was still a nightmare. I believe the tools Serkhan mentioned are |
| 15 |
supposed to improve this situation but I've stopped using Eclipse since |
| 16 |
then. For a while now, we are supposed to have been using the P2 system |
| 17 |
for handling the plugins but due to a silly bug that's never been |
| 18 |
fixed, Gentoo still isn't using it. |
