Re: [platform-core-dev] Fw: org.eclipse.core.runtime.products Extension

[Scott Fairbrother <scottf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The PDE complains about parameter not
being a legal child element of product. Is this a PDE bug or a bug in the
schema?   

I ran with the parameter, as shown in
the document example and icon and the application name string didn't show
in the UI.  Is this a UI bug?   
   
<extension
         id="com.ibm.jdg2e.mini.configurator.product"
         name="JDG2E
Dynamic Plug-in Configurator"
         point="org.eclipse.core.runtime.products">
      <product
           
description="JDG2E Dynamic Plug-in Configurator"
           
name="JDG2E Dynamic Application"
           
application="com.ibm.jdg2e.mini.configurator.product1">
         <parameter
           
   value="icons/miniwp.gif"
           
   name="windowImage"/>        

         
       <parameter
           
   value="The Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse - Dynamic
Application"
           
   name="appName"/>
      </product>
   </extension>
