[news.eclipse.gef3d] Re: Progress on update site?

[Miles Parker <milesparker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the update. I think that is fine to use LWJGL during build 
process, but you can't have it on Eclipse hosted VCS or deliver it in a 
download of course. Then you can do like subversive does (hmmm.. I'm 
not sure this is a compelling example!) and let people know they need 
to add the additional update site. But I was just realizing that I'll 
have the same issue for the AGF3D as I'll also need to refer to a 
different website for that. If I can suggest you might have the 
o.e.draw3d.lwjgl in a seperate feature so that people can get the rest 
w/o the dependency though of course that prob. wouldn't be that useful..

Miles
