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.
