Re: [jdt-dev] Recurring 'depedencies' questions (was Re: Writing Tests for JDT Text Tests)
|
Oomph is not the only entry point in the IDE, and guessing that it can be used for JDT is not obvious to everyone. We need -as an addition- something any user can leverage relatively easily independently of the entry point.
Additionally Oomph files require maintenance and could be erroneous or out of date. Improving PDE on the matter of discovering how to get missing dependencies could be a one time investment that would cover a part of the story decently, and also other use-cases externally to Platform.
