Checking whether or not the PDE Schema Builder is Needed

Author: Eike Stepper

The PDE supports a schema builder to process the extension point schema associated with extension points defined in a plug-in. That builder isn't needed when the plug-in doesn't define extension points but should be present when extension points are defined. The version manager generates a warning when the builder is present but isn't needed or when the builder is needed but isn't present. A quick fix for the warning will add or remove the PDE's schema builder as appropriate; it changes the builder specified in the .project file. Alternatively, a quick fix to configure the project to ignore the warning can be applied; it changes the Version Management Tool builder's arguments in the .project file.
