-----------------------------------------------
Hi Andreas,
We can do something like following to solve the issue.
1. We create a separate Eclipse plugin which is responsible of providing the
dependencies required by Eclipse plugins. Let's call it Libraries plugin
2. We make libraries plugin a required bundle for other eclipse plugins
How this solves the concerns you mentioned?
In this approach, Library bundle is generated using Felix plugin and embed the
dependencies in the same manner we do it now. So no manual intervention
required in case of dependency update.
Since we don't embed dependencies in Eclipse plugins itself, we don't need to
worry about syncing Manifests. Version update can be done using a linux grep
command.
Currently both Eclipse plugins contains a common sub set of jars embedded in
them. In this approach we remove them and create a common library bundle. Hence
size of the plugins will be reduced.
WDYT? If this sounds reasonable?
Thanks and Regards,
Harshana
