Erwan, what part about my description of our use of GNOME is
confusing?
We use GNOME-VFS to implement the Program API. It's used to:
- determine what your system web browser is
- determine what application should launch if you open
the "system editor" in eclipse
- actually run these programs
Without GNOME-VFS, the preferences dialog that lists web browsers
won't list anything, nor will the listing of "external applications"
for file associations, nor will the "open with > system editor" work,
and any applications that depend on the SWT Program API will not
work properly.
Do you want me to change the Eclipse Platform 3.2 plan on eclipse.org
to more clearly state that we depend on gnome-vfs???? I can do
this if it would help!
