Re: [pde-build-dev] A question about map files

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Kim,
but I really want to worry about it :-)
My quest is to make Buckminster build the rcp, starting off with nothing 
more then a simple component query. I'm very close. At present I treat 
the base.plugin and plugin in a similar way and I check the extension on 
the path in order to decide how to materialize the entry, i.e. if it 
ends with .jar it becomes something that I "import" into my workspace 
rather then doing a normal checkout. But looking closer, perhaps I could 
do that only with the 'base.' entries? I see no other entries that 
actually appoints files.

In any case, a brief explanation of the semantics behind the 'base.' 
prefix would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Thomas Hallgren
