What's new in PDE - From Manifest-First to Code-First
summary
PDE 2023-06 adds code-first manifest generation by invoking BND/BNDtools on a new pdb instruction file, so manifests, uses-constraints, version ranges, required-capabilities, component XML, meta-type and even module-info/pom are produced from annotations and classpath scans. A Target-repository bridges PDE’s target state to BND, Tycho builds are supported, and mixed manifest/code workflows allow incremental migration; demos show generated manifests match expected headers and the feature is working but needs wider large-project validation.
