New plug-ins

Plug-ins may be part of 'core', 'applications', or a site's specific product. Ask if you are unsure of the best location. New plugins are typically added to a feature in order to be installed in a product.

Use the Bundle-Vendor property of the manifest file of each plug-in (also visible in Eclipse in Overview/General Information/Provider) to record the author/maintainer in the following form:

Name Surname <email>[[Name Surname <email>|,]] - Site

For example: Gabriele Carcassi <[email protected]>, Kunal Shroff <[email protected]> - Brookhaven National Lab
