Right. At the very least we should establish a consistency setup
where the team members have J2SE 1.4 installed (I did not). Having 1.4 first
on the BREE is more community/developer friendly because it will “work” without
having to install another JRE and get an XML parser/API from somewhere (e.g.,
eRCP). However, as we saw recently, it is easy for other references to creep
in (including refs to XML stuff without a corresponding import and refs to
classes/methods not in 1.4 or Foundation 1.1) We should also be consistent about it. Some bundles in p2 have Foundation
1.1 first. Others have J2SE1.4 first. In any event, this discussion is why I posted here. We should
come to an agreement on the approach and move forward based on that. Jeff From: equinox-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
[mailto:equinox-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Thomas Watson The org.eclipse.equinox.registry also has J2SE
1.4 listed before Foundation 1.1. If I remember correctly, this is because we
do not have a bundle at pde-build time that provides the XML api to bundles
with BREE < J2SE 1.4. I think if you simply reorder the BREEs we will get a
build failure for bundles needing XML stuff to compile. We would need an XML
bundle to be available at build time also.
