I don't think adding the native step to the build.xml is a large burden, especially if there are already patches generated and pushed upstream. We can add those to the Fedora Eclipse while we wait. The releng plug-in being necessary is not a huge deal either. They are pretty standard now, and don't require much knowledge investment to get going. Also eclipse.org has standardized on the releng build method, so it should be in our best interest that all plug-ins that ship in Fedora Extras/Core should have one. If there are third party authors out there that don't have them, we can always assist as necessary. Anybody else in the community have any comments on this, or other proposals? I'd like to get the ball rolling on this, and we can maybe get the implementation working before May and the final Fedora 4 release. Regards Phil Muldoon
