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

I see now.  The doc is wrong.  There was a change a while ago and it appears the doc did not get updated.  <parameter> should be <property>.

Having said that, the runtime does not really care so either should work.

Please enter a bug against Equinox to fix the doc

If you change your stuff to have property rather than parameter and it still does not work, another bug against UI should do the trick.

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






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>
