[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Preventing plugins from contributing to

[Francis Upton <francisu@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Martin,

I think this is happening because you are including the ui.ide plugin, 
which rightly adds a bunch of this stuff.  The real problem is that you 
should not need to include ui.ide in a typical RCP application.  This 
has been an issue for years and the Eclipse team has been diligently 
working on moving things out of ui.ide to make it easier for RCP 
applications.  Things like having the text editing support be separate, 
and having the CommonNavigator.  There is still more work to do in this 
area (the CommonNavigator requires some ui.ide support to be useful 
still), but I think soon it will be done so you don't need ui.ide.

PS - real Eclipse people, correct me if I'm wrong here.
