[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: How to rebuild plug-in project??

["Yu Chen" <yuchen@xxxxxxx>]

Okay, creating a plug-in project is similar to creating a Java project which 
i found some docs on the online help... I imported the source directly from 
its Zip/Archive files instead of from a File System, added a couple of other 
plugins in the plug-in dependencies, and rename the plug-in as 
org.eclipse.test.framework instead of org.eclipse.test... Then it finally 
worked.  This instruction on the testing framework is misleading and waaaaay 
outdated!
