Description Jim des Rivieres CLA 2002-05-08 16:45:41 EDT 
The Update Manager is showing platform and product info that comes
from the old platform.ini and product.ini files.  These
files are obsolete and will be removed in the very near future
(as will the internal ProductInfo and PlatformInfo classes).

If the update manager still needs this info, it should read it from
the same place that the workbench does, namely from the about.ini
(.properties,.mappings) files in the plug-in for the primary feature.
The workbench will NOT be providing API for this (and the
update manager must not access workbench internal).

P1: remove it and show some text.
P2: read the info from the primary feature and show something.
Comment 2 Dejan Glozic CLA 2002-05-12 15:32:12 EDT 
Fixed. PDE is now showing most of the About information using the new lookup 
technique, but only for the primary feature (non-primary feature attribution 
information is available by expanding the 'Current Configuration' object).

In addition, 'Current Configuration' object is taking opportunity of this 
information to show 'window image' and product name instead of the stock name 
and image.
