Re: [platform-ui-dev] Clarifying activities in 3.0

[Jeff McAffer <Jeff_McAffer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you clarify what you mean by "defined
in the primary feature"?  Features have no presence in the runtime
and under different configuration managers may not even exist.  As
such, the only thing that can define something is a plugin.

Subject	[platform-ui-dev] Clarifying activities in 3.0

Looks like I generated some confusion with my last
mail (sorry guys).

Activities will generally be defined in the primary feature of a product
(i.e. org.eclipse.platform). Plug-in developers would not normally do 
this. 

We are discouraging the definition of activities in plug-ins as it will
make the product managers job more challenging if they are forced to use
activities that were defined for them.

There of course may be cases where it does make sense to define them in
plug-ins but we expect this to be the exception not the rule. Eclipse will
likely have activities defined in the org.eclipse.platform primary 
feature. We will do this once the product team has defined what they want.
