The biggest 'policy' change seems to be a shift away from having classes
straight on the bundle's classpath in favor of a jar package of those
same classes, included as a library for the bundle.
This approach undermines the 'Import As | Source Project' value
proposition completely, as the only thing you'll get in your workspace
is a sparsely populated plug-in project, typically with one fat opaque
jar in the project's root.
If all plug-ins adopt this strategy, then the 'Import As | Source
Project' will lose its value completely.
The PDE and its relationship to the platform is truly amazing, realized
by real visionaries, but as with Eclipse in general, it seems that with
so many projects going on, effort is starting to spread thin and that
vision is starting to become diluted a bit (I could rant on this, for
quite a while).
Your Plug-in Spy is already indispensable. Should have been in there
from the start ;)
