Re: Important info regarding building eclipse plugin

[Donald Woods]

What does this mean to end-users who only want to use a pre-built Eclipse plug-in downloaded from the Devtools website? Will they have to use the exact level of WTP that was used to build the plug-in?

WTP and Eclipse have introduced into their builds a new concept of a "qualifer". This "qualifier" is basically a time-date stamp that gets appended to the plugin jar version during their build for any plugin that has changed in that build. This means that no 2 builds will have the same jar versions. So unlike before, the geronimo plugin could build against any 1.0.x level of WTP. This is no longer true and until I find a more appropriate flexible solution, the build is now binded to a given driver. So from a users perspective wanting to build, this has minimum impact. Building with "maven build" will automatically download the necessary drivers. The only impact is they will no longer be able to use the eclipse.home property to point to their own version of eclipse to build against.
