Hi,

I have an Eclipse workbench application composed of many plugins. I'd like to set the about text of the app to reflect the build number.

There seems to be a couple of places to do this: - Inside the application's .product file (setting text here doesn't seem to do anything?) - Inside the plugin.xml file of the main plugin (this does seem to work).

I have two questions:

  1. What is the best way to achieve this? via plugin.xml?
  2. Why is the text I set in the product file ignored?

Nice post! Thank you. I think I'll have to revise our approach to branding to something more Feature oriented.Any ideas why the various plugins/products have spots for setting about info as well? Is there any use for these fields?
