Re: [platform-update-dev] CVS Folder

James,

The update plugins you need to look
at are those that ship with the eclipse SDK:
org.eclipse.update.{configurator,core,ui,scheduler}.
There are also two fragments, one for linux and one for win32, but you
probably don't need them.
Unfortunately, the CVS module for update
is obsolete and committers can't modify them. We should perhaps ask the
webmaster to change it.

Yes, platform-update-home is the update
website (all components will soon move to a new site template).

As you've seen, there isn't much internal
documentation. I ran into similar issues when I started working on update
in 3.0. Search the eclipse site for archived discussions on various topics;
in the end, the code is your best friend :-)

Subject	[platform-update-dev] CVS Folder

When I first looked into getting involved in helping
on the Update component
I followed the instructions for accessing the Eclipse CVS server to get
the
code. There were, of course, many directories; one for every plugin. But
there were some at the bottom that seemed to group others together into
logical units including one for "platform-update". Sure enough
it contained
Update related items, but not all of them.  As a result, I went to
the
Update Component Development Resources page and got a list of the plugins
that were actually needed. I also had to add some other needed plugins
to
project; org.apache.xerces for one I think.

Is it possible to change the items in the folder that grouped plugins to
include everything that someone would need to start off?

Another question: the "platform-update-home" branch. Is that
the Update
website itself?

Thanks!
