[platform-ui-dev] Compiling Against Foundation

[Douglas Pollock <douglas.pollock@xxxxxxxx>]

Most of Platform/UI code should compile against the Foundation libraries if 
possible (Appendix 1: 
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_2.html).  
The following is simple steps for setting up your projects to compile against 
foundation.

1.) Check out "org.eclipse.osgi" 
2.) Open the properties on your project 
3.) Go to the Java Build Path > Libraries 
4.) Remove JRE System Library 
5.) Add JAR: "org.eclipse.osgi/osgi/ee.foundation.jar" 
6.) optional: Add "org.eclipse.osgi/osgi/XMLParserAPIs.jar" as well, if you 
require XML parsing


DO NOT COMMIT THESE CHANGES TO .classpath TO CVS.  This just for your local 
workspace.
