[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Additional Files for Deployed Product

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This depends on how you are building your product.

If you have a normal feature build, or a productBuild based on features, 
 then you can add root files using one of your features.
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/tasks/pde_rootfiles.htm

If you have a plugin based productBuild and are using 3.5 for your 
builder, then there are some details at the bottom of that help page.

If you have 3.4 or earlier you will need to create a feature and get it 
inserted into the build, which can be done by setting a property 
"featureList", see
