Hi,
I have a few updates to the Eclipse Plugin packaging guidelines. They include some clarifications, typos, and updates for Eclipse 3.4.x. The only bit of real substance is modifying the template to note how we're using the dropins mechanism for plugin installation in 3.4.x and above.
I've attached a diff 'cause I don't think I can commit it. Can someone else?
Thanks,
Andrew

(Resurrecting this thread ...) So if I'm trying to package an Eclipse plugin now (http://vimplugin.org), I should follow this advice and put the jar file in the "dropins" directory, *regardless* of the version of Fedora? That is, is 3.4.x the "live" version on all versions?
NB: These changes don't seem to have been applied yet -- I was looking at the Wiki page earlier today and it clearly still had the old version.

No, just for Fedora 10. I guess you'll have to have %if sections for older releases if you want to release on them.

Yeah, I don't know what the procedure is to get changes actually applied.

Make sure your draft is on the schedule: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/DraftsTodo and the committee will discuss it at the next meeting (which happens to be tomorrow).
If the changes are trivial or obviously necessary to keep up with changes in the underlying software, we'll just make the fixes; otherwise they'll take a round drip through FESCo for ratification.
