RE: [platform-releng-dev] Basebuilder / startup.jar?

Here is the web pages that describes the changes to basebuilder.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Platform-releng-basebuilder  
 
Thanks, will monitor this from now on
 The startup.jar is missing in the M5 version basebuilder because it doesn't exist anymore and we have updated our scripts to accomodate this.  
Well, yours have but what about other projects who happen to re-use basebuilder? 

The equinox launcher has been renamed to  org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.jar as a convenience factor for the platform releng team's scripts.  This is similar to the case where have renamed org.eclipse.pde.build in basebuilder so we don't have to update our scripts each time we update the version of pde build.  
 
Good point, but why not rename / copy it to ../startup.jar instead of a new name that has never been there before?
Would make like easier for downstream clients...
 
Not that it would be important for me (I have updated my build scripts from startup.jar to plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.jar through a global query/replace operation which happened to find 10 matches, but others might want to have the good ol' startup.jar...
 
Cheers,
martin
