Eclipse config questions

Hello scallions,

The file META-INF/MANIFEST.MF in the Scala trunk seems to be outdated.

When I load the Scala project with Eclipse 3.4 Classic I get several warning about missing/deprecated properties:

1) Property "Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment" is missing

  I added Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: J2SE-15, JavaSE-1.6 in my local settings

this should be ok, unless we plan to try to make the sclaac compiler work on a mobile device. 
 

2) Property "Eclipse-LazyStart" is deprecated

  I replaced it with Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy in my local settings

I believe Bundle-ActivationPolicy wasn't supported until eclipse 3.3 or 3.4.  As long as we don't support too much earlier, it should be fine to change this.
 

Can anybody confirm that ?!

Thanks

I'd say, unless there are any objections, we should make the changes in trunk?

No objections from me ... assuming we're happy that these really are
the right property values. Whoever gets there first should also do
scala-library, scala-plugin and scala-plugin-aspects ...

I'm not so sure about scala-library.  If this is the reference OSGi bundle, I'd like to keep the option of potentially using it for Mobile Platforms, so we should make sure we use the right values there.  Personally, I'd rather individualize "core scala-library", scala-swing and scala-dbc as scalac is ignoreing the Bundle-ClassPath attribute anyway....
