20020501 Win2K I was setting up my workspace (doing it "my way" of course). So I started with new workspace, turned off building, added my projects from repo, went to Import plugins from external, selected Update UI, Add all prereqs and [Finish]. Binary projects got imported, BUT the fragments (for SWT, other?) did not. I ended up with a bunch of errors that a normal user would find confusing. So, I went back and manually imported the fragments for resources.win32 and swt.win32. Imported OK, but errors did not get fixed. The import needs to collect any fragments that are referencing a plugin that is being imported. After I did all this, I could not get the update.ui and update.ui.forms projects to compile ... complaining about SWT classes missing.
So I gave up after 15 minutes of futility, deleted all projects from workspace, went to Import plugins, did "Select All", finish, delete the binaries for update, loaded projects from repo, and all was well. The moral of the story is that "my way" does not work. The other way does. Need to fix if we are going to support self-hosting without importing all.
I will update the import wizard to include fragments in required plug-ins computation. In the mean time, select SWT plug-in and recompute its classpath to make it compile.
Updated Import wizard to add fragments that belong to a plug-in in dependency computation. Also fixed Preference page 'Not in Workspace' button to include fragments.
