[platform-releng-dev] Basebuilder / startup.jar?
|
Hi releng team,
I have a question and a suggestion:
* How can I get informed about changes to the basebuilder,
e.g. when a new milestone is frozen or new features are added?
* I noticed that with M5_33, startup.jar is gone and has been
replaced by plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.jar (which was
sort of expected, the way that Platform M5 is).
Still, I think that for integrating the new Launcher into the
Basebuilder, it would be better to keep the original version
associated with org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.0.qualifier.jar,
but check in a copy of the launcher (named startup.jar) into CVS.
That way,
- existing scripts which use startup.jar don't need to be modified
- the basebuilder is closer to the Platform because equinox.launcher
shows what version it is
I think that the original issue why startup.jar was removed (i.e.
allowing the Platform to be updated through update manager) does
not apply to the basebuilder, since it is being updated out of
cvs. Providing a startup.jar in the basebuilder would easily fix

Note that the Equinox team recommends copying the equinox.launcher
into startup.jar in
