| Re: [orbit-dev] Questions about my first bundle, SWTChart |
Hey Andrew, some quick answers for you:
1). Yes, I believe that's correct.
2). No I wouldn't worry about it. I would think it is uncommon for other people to implement org.eclipse.swt packages so it makes sense to require our implementation of those packages and just use a bundle requirement.
3). No, you only need to include a source-bundle folder if you're distributing the source as well. We have a couple other bundles that don't. David can confirm but I don't think there is anything special you need to do. I just quickly checked the source feature generation code and it does a lookup for the source bundle before creating an entry for it in the source feature, so it shouldn't create a bogus one for your bundle.
4). No, I think your about.html can look pretty much like any of the Eclipse Platform about.html files since it is EPL only.
HTH,
dj
