[jdt-ui-dev] Using classes from platform.ui.navigator

["Conrad Groth" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I’m currently working on an additional filter for the Project Explorer (platform.ui) and I also want to add it to the Package Explorer (jdt.ui). See bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=519771 for details.

 

What’s the policy in jdt.ui regarding dependencies to platform.ui for UI elements? I put the class in the (exported) package org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources, which is already imported by the jdt.ui project. But I can only use the class in the plugin.xml, but I have to duplicate the name and the description of the extension. Is that okay or do I have to duplicate the class in jdt.ui? If yes, I also prefer to move the class in platform.ui to an internal package, if it’s not used somewhere else. The above mentioned bug contains two gerrit links showing the current solution for platform.ui and jdt.ui
