[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Eclipse IDE (dev)] - Re: WAS: Hibernate Tools not forward compatible with WTP (@h

No I consider it a "namespace collision" that hibernate is distributing org.eclipse.* stuff. I'm only allowing org.eclipse.* to come from the eclipse website. Depending upon which base version of WTP I use files may or may not be overwritten but conceptually there is still an unclean namespace collision by the fact your redistributing. I was doing something like: unzip "${BASEDIR}/HibernateTools-3.2.0.beta6a.zip" \ "features/org.hibernate.*" \ "plugins/org.hibernate.*" \ "plugins/org.jboss.*" || exit 1 To filter unwanted stuff out. If the plugin works afterwards great. But I've had large periods of times over the past 6 months where the hibernate plugin has not been working (for whatever reason). But the feature.xml inside hibernate tools is just all wrong IMHO. You should not be using <plugin ..> for any org.eclipse.* stuff. You should be using <import ...> and when you redistribute any org.eclipse.* stuff you should also be redistrubting the features/org.eclipse.* files too. There is also <include ...> which I'm not sure what it means but I have seen it in other plugins. Maybe swapping <plugin ..> to <include ..> in the current hibernate tools feature.xml for all org.eclipse.* namespace components is a step in the right direction. This request is back to my original hibernate tools query and the example features.xml in JIRA. In looking into matters a little more I am finding other possible problems with the plugin versioning system (in general) which dont make sense to me yet.
