What happens during the release process then?
Am I missing something...
I've been spending the last few weeks migrating our RCP plugin from
including library jars to the target platform (after OSGi-fication).
This was to end the pain we feel at release time because we need to
manually change build.properties, MANIFEST.MF and .classpath to be in
sync.
I was hoping to reduce or remove that pain.
