Re: [epp-dev] New MetaData Tag for the Package Config File.

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nathan,

I already created the necessary bugzilla components in the EPP project:

  cpp-package, java-package, jee-package, modeling-package, 
  rcp-package, reporting-package

The new attributes in your example file look good to me. 

Today I had a look at the old package pages that were created by Wayne last 
year (e.g. http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/c.php). They include 
more meta-data and I think we should allow to add more of it in the xml file. 
Especially a long-description, new and noteworthy, and a tutorials/help 
section could be very helpful for new users.
