hi,
i hereby revoke this
mail as we figured this out on our own.
namely: to quote from
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse
“The unfortunately named
"Eclipse Project" is the project
dedicated to producing the Eclipse SDK…”
hence, indeed these
guides are for the top-level project and not for projects at eclipse in
general.
Kind

Hi,
i have a question in regard
to how strictly
the guides set out @ http://wiki.eclipse.org/API_Central
and its subpages are for projects that build on the eclipse framework
but don’t
change its existing code.
as far as I understand the
guide it is
targeted mainly for (core) framework development of eclipse itself.
in our case we are just
building on that
framework and although these guides make much sense to be followed I
think they
also add quite an overhead – especially when a software is in its
infancy and
direction/design of code is still under much discussion.
I do understand that since we
haven’t
released anything yet, all our APIs are considered provisional and
hence
subject to change.
even though, if we want to
fully implement
this guide it would mean a considerable effort to change code and hence
wonder,
how strongly this is seen for projects like SMILA.
Mit freundlichen
Grüßen / Kind regards
