[jbosside-dev] Bundling features/plugins in the build system

[Marshall Culpepper]

Ahhh ok now I understand =). Currently it will not complain if a <plugin>
references something from org.eclipse, but that shouldn't be too hard to
do... I already do discovery of what plugins and features are part of
org.eclipse.sdk.

Your other comment basically says if I depend on plugin X I should
automatically import the entire feature that includes plugin X? I'm not sure
how this would work from an implementation standpoint as it's technically
possible to include the same plugin in different features (and then how do
we choose which is which?). Basically to include a feature you'll need to
either put in the "included features" part of your feature.xml or as a
"required feature" in dependencies.
