Re: [platform-ui-dev] org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins

[Lars Vogel <lars.vogel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dirk,

the org.eclipse.e4.rcp feature does not include the corresponding p2
plug-in, hence I agree that we should remove it from the "Add
Recommended" feature in PDE.

Can you open a bug (and add a patch)?

Best regards, Lars
