Export-Package
This page has been migrated to https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform/blob/master/docs/Export-Package.md
The Eclipse top-level project uses the following convention for the Export-Package manifest attribute:
- Newly added internal packages should not use x-internal exports unless there are very good reasons
- For existing packages the x-internal export can be removed with PMC approval
- Using x-friends is OK and should always be preferred over x-internals. The use of x-friends is an indication of tightly coupled bundles because its use is for when one bundle needs "approved" access to the internals of another bundle.
- The 'Unexported package' Plug-in Manifest compiler option should be set to 'Warning'
