[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Problems with getInstallURL()

[Scott Rich <srich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Vlad,
Should the "eclipse:" URL scheme be considered "API"?  We've had a few people
who've seen it used internally for things like install URL, and would like to use
it for other access to plugin-relative files.  Is that a good idea?  Is
"eclipse:" likely to change?  Looking at the handler code, there seem to be a
couple variants, "\plugin" being the prime one.  Are these documented and can we
count on using them?  Or should they only be used indirectly through API's such
as getInstallURL()?

Thanks,
Scott
