[jbosstools-dev] Regarding launchbar contribution

[Nick Boldt]

Since JBT 4.3.0.Final is slated for after Mars SR1, this seems reasonable.

You don't technically need to have the same IU names to allow a seamless 
upgrade from o.j.t.whatever to o.eclipse.wtp.whatever.

We've seen multiple instances where a JBoss project moved to Eclipse, 
and we were able to support the IU rename using a p2.inf instruction.

Here's what we did to rename from com.jboss.jbds to com.jboss.devstudio:

https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-product/blob/jbosstools-4.2.x/features/com.jboss.devstudio.core.feature/p2.inf#L1-L5

We've done similar with m2e-wtp, too.

But of course it's simpler if we just build the plugin using the future 
o.e.wtp name, and a lower version.
