| [platform-releng-dev] Fw: Proposal for Eclipse Installation Standard |
|
> Proposal for Eclipse Installation Standard -
by Andrew Cornwall
> ===================================================== ............. .....
>
> In order to reduce this, we offer the following suggestion: > 1. All providers of the Eclipse framework
include, in the base
> directory of their installation, a text file with the name plugin.inf > with the following format: > > BrandName <my branding name> > BrandVersion <my branding version> > EclipseVersion <my Eclipse version> > PluginDir <my plugin dir> > PluginDir: this specifies where on the
filesystem the Eclipse plugin
> directory is located, relative to the installed location. For > instance, because the plugin directory for WSDD is located off of the > base install directory, its value will be: > PluginDir plugin > > If another platform chose to have the following directory structure: > MyPlatform > Eclipse > plugins > > then its PluginDir should be: > PluginDir Eclipse/plugins > if it is Unix-based, or > PluginDir Eclipse\plugins > if it is Windows-based. > (Note that plugin.inf will be located in the MyPlatform directory, > because that is the base install directory.) > > The PluginDir is operating-system specific, but must maintain case > for the directories it names. There is no trailing slash or backslash > permitted when specifying the plugin directory. Accessing the parent > or current directory > (PluginDir Eclipse/../../MyPlatform/./Eclipse/plugins) > is forbidden. ======= WE CAN USE DOT AS THE DIRECTORY SEPERATOR
AS JAVA USES
WITH THIS WE CAN IMPLEMENT THE ABOVE
RULE
