Re: [platform-update-dev] NPE opening feature.xml

[dejan@xxxxxxxxxx]

There must be something wrong with the file when the editor dies on it
(which is a bug, BTW). Check feature info portion (description, license or
copyright) and see if it is against the spec.

Also note that feature editor has been improved since M5.

I'm playing with features now :-), and have my prototype feature.xml in an
Eclipse project.  When I edit it, the "Feature Manifest editor" gets first
crack at it and spits out the following.  I've made the Default Text editor
the default for this now.
