Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2008-08-31 04:48:05 EDT 
There are several workflows that would benefit from the possibility of creating Product files from OSGi launch configs.  In addtion to simply getting the list of bundles, it would be interesting to look at how the start levels etc could be managed here.

This is likely part of the overall push to have PDE more consistent across Eclipse and OSGi usecases.

Jeff, what is your opinion wrt bug 167438 ?

I am 100% for making PDE in to MDE (Module Development Environment).  It would be an extensible base into which various module mechanism could input tooling. There is much to be gained from using PDE in standard Java scenarios.  I believe we have a real opportunity here.  Now if you were suggesting more modest moves towards "bundle" tooling or BDE, that would be ok.  It would be great to see the barriers and differences between programming "Eclipse" and "Equinox" torn down or removed.

This will be possible when bug 240737 is completed. Currently, product files have no notions of start levels so this isn't going to help anyone really.

consider for M7

Here's a patch that at least populates the list correctly.

We still have a problem in how we populate the plug-in list for product definitions. We have to know be aware of how to parse plug-ins depending if they come from an OSGi or Eclipse application launch config.
