[news.eclipse.platform.ua] Re: Link to a file outside the plugins folder

Oops. Sorry, Chris!  :S 
Too many emails, bug reports, etc. going on...

Yes, it seems a little weird that it is documented all over the place, 
even in bug reports, but it doesn't appear to be required at all.  I did 
try to go back and look at the CVS commit logs to see if there was any 
explanation as to where this came from (or when it disappeared) and came 
up empty.

If anyone knows the story behind it I'd love to hear about it.  I'll file 
a bug about removing it from the documentation.

Thanks,
Mark.
