Re: [equinox-dev] Alternate Extension Point namespace

[Oleg Besedin <obesedin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is an enhancement request for
this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=112856 . Feel free
to add your information there - having another use case certainly helps
raise interest.

Sincerely,
Oleg Besedin

Subject	[equinox-dev] Alternate Extension Point namespace

For eRCP we would like to have a smaller org.eclipse.ui
plugin that has fewer graphics and only a subset of extension points. However,
producing a plugin with the same symbolic name but different content does
not seem like a good practice since the two plugins could potentially be
confused. The problem is that Extension Points are known by their "plugin
symbolic name" + "extension name". Thus, Extensions Points
can not be provided by another plugin and still be found.

Tom Watson mentioned that there had been some discussion of loosening this
restriction. Is there anything currently in the works that would resolve
this problem or would you entertain adding a "namespace=" tag
to allow changing the default namespace?
