Great point Pascal.  Thomas, you
can find all the features involved by looking at the map files.

The cvs module you are looking at (org.eclipse.platform-feature) is from
an ancient time. 
All new features are located in the features folder of the org.eclipse.sdk-feature.
The builders and the natures are probably not specified because we probably
did not create the project using the wizard, but still we got all the functions
we wanted.

Subject	[pde-build-dev] Building the platform feature

Hi,
As a step in making Buckminster more PDE-build compliant, I'm now trying
to build the whole org.eclipse.platform-feature feature and everything
that it depends on and not surprisingly :-), I run into some problems.

The first thing I noticed was that many (most?) of the features that I
find under the /cvsroot/eclipse have a stripped project descriptor 
files. The only element with content is the project name. I would have
expected the 'org.eclipse.pde.FeatureNature' nature element there and 
perhaps also a buildCommand for the 'org.eclipse.pde.FeatureBuilder'. 
I'm curious. Why you are leaving this out?

I've also noted that the project names are not unique. You have a 
feature project called 'org.eclipse.rcp' and a plugin with the exact 
same name. Consequently, I cannot materialize both of them without 
inventing a new name for one of them. What conventions do you use when
you do that?

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
