[pde-build-dev] Included features
|
All,
I am trying to understand the semantics of included features (Advanced
Settings->Included Features, <includes> in feature.xml) in Eclipse 2.1.1. I
see in the Help (PDE Guide->Deploying a plug-in->Feature manifest editor)
that "Larger features may be built by including other features, thus
creating a feature hierarchy." org.eclipse.sdk.win32-feature is an example.
My own guess was that the ant build.xml script generated with "Create Ant
Build File" from the feature.xml would reference the included features to
also build them (zip.distribution could create the distributions in the
respective features or a single large distribution in the including
feature.). However, this is not the case. Why?
Is there any more documentation about the intended semantics and usage of
features that include other features? Are they officially called composite
features?
Regards,
Martin
