Max Rydahl Andersen commented on HBX-709:
-----------------------------------------

I don't understand your point about the url's being wrong!? they are links to sites related to these plugins.

I deliberatly did not put an update site pointer in there because we have two; one for stable and another for development (and nightly builds won't work with any of thtem)

We have changed all our external plugin to imports; migrating to features is the next step.

Besides being simpler (fewer) entries does it give us or the user anything else ? (besides maybe getting more plugins than we actually use ;)

> Start to pickup and use Eclipse/WTP versioning within the features.xml/
> Plan of action as I see it:
>  * Copy features/org.eclipse.* and features.org.apache.* files as well as pre-requisite plugins/* when packaging.
>  * Move <plugin ...> into <import ...> in features/org.hibernate.eclipse.feature_3.2.0.beta6a/feature.xml (see attached sample of this working for me)
>  * Modify build and packaging process to now create two JARs.
>    JAR one contains (this is the runtime only JAR):
>     features/org.hibernate.eclipse.feature*
>     plugins/org.hibernate.eclipse*
>     plugins/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.freemarker*
>   JAR two contains (this is the equivalent of what is distrubuted now, hibernate tools, with WTP/XSD/GEF/JEM pre-requisites, without Eclipse Platform)
>     All the files in JAR one above, plus
>     plugins/org.eclipse.gef*
>     plugins/org.eclipse.wst.xml_core.feature.*
>     plugins/org.eclipse.wst.common_core.feature*
>     plugins/org.eclipse.wst.common_ui.feature*
>     plugins/org.apache.xerces.feature*
>     plugins/org.eclipse.xsd*
>     plugins/org.eclipse.jem*
>     plugins/org.eclipse.wst.xml_ui.feature*
>     plugins/org.eclipse.emf*
>     features/org.eclipse.gef*
>     features/org.eclipse.wst.xml_core.feature_*
>     features/org.eclipse.wst.common_core.feature_*
>     features/org.eclipse.wst.common_ui.feature_*
>     features/org.apache.xerces.feature_*
>     features/org.eclipse.xsd_*
>     features/org.eclipse.jem_*
>     features/org.eclipse.wst.xml_ui.feature_*
>     features/org.eclipse.emf_*
> By removing the <plugin ..> declarations from the hibernate JAR it stops the JAR claiming it is the authorative source for that plugin to the update manager.  By including the original features/ files from the original authorative source means that if a user installs pre-requisites (or has pre-requisites already installed) when they use JAR two, and restart Eclipse will automatically pickup and use the lastest installed version of WTP/XSD/EMF/GEF/JEM compatible with hibernate tools.
> This has the effect is automatically upgrading the version of pre-requisites when multiple versions are found.  But in the event the users version of pre-requisites is too old or non-existant then the ones in the JAR two will be picked up and used.
> If the re-packaged version of freemarker is also being used inside other JBOSS plugins, then I would suggest a seperate feature/org.jboss.ide.eclipse.freemarker*/feature.xml be provided and all plugins built on top are then to pickup that with an <import ...> declaration.  If hibernate tools is the only user of freemarker then leading it inside hibernate tools is fine.
