Re: [platform-update-dev] Link files

I don't know if they are implemented or not yet but if you use these link
files then the update manager can't be used to update those plugins pointed
to by the link files.
WSAD for instance can't and won't be using them if at all possible.

Thanks,

In the design document for install/update in the Changes for R2.0
section, there is a bullet point "using native install/uninstall".

At the very end of this it says:-

The shared Eclipse is make aware of the product-specific location via
and installed "link file".

1) Is there a definition of such link files, their format, their naming
conventions, and their location?

2) Is this implementated yet?
