Update PDE T&T document with relevant items from Mars (4.5) N&N documents.
Added the following from N&N docs: - Collect download statistics for your product - Set default preference values for your product Released with: http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common.git/commit/?id=c0012edd397a2727301713e0594b3e245ab49e7f Vikas, let me know if you want any other item also to be added to the T&T document.
I had a look of all 100+ defects that went into PDE for 4.5. Not too sure of >>Collect download statistics for your product Using reload button, as a workaround or trick for many situations an user can get into while dealing with target editor would be a decent T&T item.
For >>Set default preference values for your product I think we need to provide some context. I'm not suggesting the following text but just providing the context for this T&T item. While creating a product, many times default preferences needs to be specified. Earlier that was done by exporting the preference page and then manually adding the preferences to the customization file ( after doing some processing). Now there is a "Convert Preference Wizard" option in customization tab of product editor.
Specify baseline via target may also qualify for T&T since it is new and not something very obvious for 4.4 user.

Do you mean to include the feature "Reload button added in target editor" from 4.5 M5 N&N doc?

This feature is directly visible in the UI when user clicks "Add Baseline..." button and can't be missed by the user. Hence, it is not a tip/trick in my view, and is a new useful feature which is mentioned in the What's new doc for 4.5. Let me know if you want to include it in the T&T doc also.
> Do you want to remove this item? I think we can do away with it. If we want to keep this, lets put it as the last item. >Do you mean to include the feature "Reload button added in target editor" Yes, with context - many times target editor's state goes in limbo and it is impossible to get it to resolved condition without manually editing the target editor file ( increase sequence number). The user is kind-of stuck. >>Hence, it is not a tip/trick in my view, and is a new useful feature which is >>mentioned in the What's new doc for 4.5 Sort of agree here but I'll still suggest we should keep it. Reason - it is not very obvious and something of importance.
Updated the T&T doc based on comments from Vikas and released: http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.common.git/commit/?id=c574eb4cee5dea98d2b9e54d6f700ac3b8b93188 - Removed "Collect download statistics for your product" - Added "Reload button in target editor" - Updated "Set default preference values for your product" - Added "Create an API Baseline from a Target Definition"
Fixed as per comment #7.
Verified with Eclipse 4.5 I20150526-2010.
