Re: [equinox-dev] Simpler JavaFX class loading

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxx>]

a) My focus is actually Mars, Luna for now, not Kepler.

b) I don¹t care much about swt-embedding, I¹m going the other way.

c) Agreed. A FX specific profile makes sense. That requires another
property to ensure it gets loaded, but better than the magic extensions
property. But I haven¹t had much luck getting the profiles to do what I
want anyway. Adding the packages to org.osgi.framework.system.packages
doesn¹t seem to be enough or correct at all.

Thanks!
Doug.
