Re: [equinox-dev] Why do we need systembundle.mf?

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Is it that you want to delete the file
or rename it to manifest.mf?  Seems like the file is actually required
as it has lots of exports etc.  If you delete it then the adaptor
would have to supply all that info.  I think the model was that the
systembundle.mf combined with the relevant adaptor.mfs gives the logical
manifest.mf for the system bundle.  Having an actual manifest.mf for
the system bundle might be confusing.

It enables the OSGi framework to be started outside of Eclipse without
the
user having to provide their own system bundle manifest, which is just
one
less step in getting started.
