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

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.
