Description Andrew Johnson CLA 2020-10-25 05:40:49 EDT
The Javadoc for IContentDescriber says:

It is expected that content describer implementations be declared in a package that is exempt from plug-in activation (using the Eclipse-AutoStart bundle manifest header).

I think the proper OSGi way now is using:
Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy;exclude:=

so the Javadoc could be updated. Please check though.

The help could also be updated at
https://help.eclipse.org/2019-12/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/runtime_content_contributing.htm

and that could link to the right section in https://help.eclipse.org/2019-12/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/bundle_manifest.html
