Hi All,

I am working with PDE.

I saw two files namely ECLIPSE.RSA And ECLIPSE.SF under the folder
META-INF.

I Searched on internet but could not get any info on these files.

So can any body explain in details , what is the use of these files?

Thanks.

Hi,

Both of those files have to do with the digital signature of the plugin.

My educated guess is that ECLIPSE.RSA is likely the eclipse.org's public
key that your computer uses to verify the signature, and ECLIPSE.SF is
likely the signature itself (Signature File?)
