Your statement is misleading.
Perhaps wrong or incorrect but not misleading :-)
The repos can still be used as a base for people's development in the
target platform.
The only change is the workflow by which the target platform is setup:
instead of unzipping you use the target platform management wizard
(Preferences > PDE)
how does it work for the executable and other root files? You have one
repo zip that has all platforms in it right? In the runnable form,
where are all the launchers for the various platforms? Does PDE find
the one for the current target environment and use that to launch? Is
this done by the target wizard? Inquiring minds want to know.
Also, how does this relate to the Delta pack? The delta pack has a mess
of other non RCP stuff in it but other than that, can RCP developers now
stop using the delta pack? I know we talked about updating the
deltapack to *also* have repo content. This direction feels more like
removing the existing form and putting in only the repo form (in the
case of the proposed RCP zip)
BTW, whatever we do here, we should do for the equinox downloads.
