[platform-ant-dev] Suggestions on subclassing of ExternalToolsMainTab

[Aleks Totic <a@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am working on a python development environment plugin. Right 
now I am designing my debug/launch framework. The easiest path 
seems to be to integrate with External Tools framework just like 
Ant did. This involves subclassing
org.eclipse.ui.externaltools.internal.launchConfigurations.ExternalToolsMainTab
and friends.

The "internal" in the package name makes me a bit scared.

Am I doomed to incompatibility/revisions nightmares if I starts 
using the External Tools framework?

I can see External Tools framework being very useful in many 
diffrent situations, it would be nice to have them officially 
exposed.
