Plugin Properties

If you want to include into the Eclipse distribution a plugin that yet not supported by the Custom Eclipse Builder you can define it in the config/private-plugins.properties. To define a new plugin you have to set plugins properties:

Property	Value	Description
`PLUGINNAME_ECLIPSEVERSION_current`	`PLUGINVERSION`	This property defines the current version of the plugin `PLUGINNAME` for the Eclipse version `ECLIPSEVERSION`. See Example
`PLUGINNAME_SOURCEFORGE`	`true\|false(default)`	This property defines whether the plugin `PLUGINNAME` is a sourceforge project. This property can be omitted if the plugin `PLUGINNAME` is not a sourceforge project. NOTE: Please, use the value `SOURCEFORGEURLSUFFIX` for the property `PLUGINNAME_VERSION` when this property is set to true. See Example
`PLUGINNAME_VERSION`	`DOWNLOADURL\|SOURCEFORGEURLSUFFIX`	This property defines the download url of the plugin `PLUGINNAME_VERSION`. The value of this property denotes the download url, or the url suffix related to a sourceforge download base url. See Example
`PLUGINNAME_VERSION_archive`	`none`	This property defines whether the plugin's distribution is archived. See Example
`PLUGINNAME_plugins_base_dir`	`path to the plugins directory within of plugin distribution`	This property defines the plugins base directory within of the plugin's distribution. NOTE:This property can be omitted in case of the plugins base directory is the root directory. See Example
`PLUGINNAME_features_base_dir`	`path to the features directory within of plugin distribution`	This property defines the features base directory within of the plugin provider's archive. NOTE:This property can be omitted in case of the plugin distribution archive does not contain any features. See Example
