["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I checked the patch on the bug, and the new constant is 
scheduled to go into IPDELauncherConstants .

+1 Looks good to me.

Thanks,

Subject: [eclipse-pmc] Request for API addition

PDE is requesting approval for the addition of an API constant in
support of bug 308214 (allow individual bundles to included in a feature
based launch). The new constant is a launch configuration attribute key.

The risk/impact of adding the new constant is extremely low. Feature
based launch is new in 3.6 (since M6), and there are no clients outside
of PDE using the new launch API that we know of. The proposed Javadoc
for the new constant is:

        /**
         * Launch configuration attribute key. The value is a List
specifying the additional plug-ins that 
         * will be included along with the features in the list {@link
#SELECTED_FEATURES}
         * when launching (when {@link #USE_CUSTOM_FEATURES} is set to
<code>true</code>.
         * The values in the List are strings that contain the id and
versions as follows:
         * <pre>
         * [plugin_id]:[version]
         * </pre>
         * 
         * @since 3.6
         */
        String ADDITIONAL_PLUGINS = "additional_plugins"; //$NON-NLS-1$

Thanks,

Darin
