[jdt-debug-dev] Re: [platform-swt-dev] Re: [jdt-core-dev] org.eclipse.jdt.launcing.macosx & the Mac build

I don't think fragments are your friend in this case :-)

You want a regular plug-in that ends up being configured as part of an
OS-specific feature. The plug-in contributes to regular extension points as
a regular citizen.

Excellent.  This was the answer I was hoping to hear <g>

Veronika on SWT is your fragment friend.  She has lots of experience.

If Andre is dong the Mac one does anybody in jdt-debug land have cycles to
fragmentize the j9 launcher?

I prefer 2) since the MacOS X launcher isn't finished yet, isn't
small, and will probably get some UI.
So should I start converting it into a fragment?
Anything special to consider?
