Description Nicolas Richeton CLA 2009-03-30 03:27:57 EDT
To generate a webstart application, we need to create a jnlp file with a reference to the equinox launcher: 
		<jar href="plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar" />

But depending of the Eclipse version running, the name of this plug-in changes. As a result, the jnlp file have to be edited manually each time you update Eclipse or each time another developer wants to generate this webstart. 

Could we imagine some filtering mechanism in order to automatically set the jar name with the right version ?  eg "${equinox.launcher}" -> "plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar"

Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
