[News.eclipse.technology.packaging] Re: UDC in own RCP applications

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The short answer is yes, you can use the UDC in your own RCP
applications. However, the current incarnation of the UDC doesn't expose
any official APIs and while significant parts of the UDC do lend
themselves to reuse--without other use cases to base development
on--reuse has been on our minds, but has not been a particular focus.
This is going to be a focus for after the Ganymede release at the end of
June.

Your involvement in, at least, defining what you need the UDC to do for
you would be helpful.

We can discuss in this forum if you'd like, or you can create bug
reports in Eclipse bugzilla. Or both.

Thanks,

Wayne
