Re: [pde-dev] Warnings about plugin.properties in src.includes

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Was there ever a reply ... ? If not, I'll give my guess ... I've always interpreted these warnings to mean,

"since you have plugin.properties listed in bin.includes, it is redundant and not necessary to also list in src.includes".

Hope that's close to accurate.

Hi,

When I add the plugin.properties to the src.includes, I get a warning saying:

"'plugin.properties' should not be added to src.includes list as it is not required in source build."

In many cases, the plugin.properties contains default translations that cannot be found elsewhere. When using EMF 
generated editors, most labels etc. have their text in plugin.properties and unless it's present there will be lots of 
errors. If I understand this correctly, not including the plugin.properties will make it impossible to import such 
bundles into my workspace and get them to function.

So why this warning? I can't see anything wrong in including this file in a source bundle.

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
