<td class="title"><a href="#javascript">Eclipse views with browser technology</a></td>
<td class="content">
It is possible to create views and editors with browser technology instead of SWT.
To showcase this, a new <b>Plug-in Template</b> is available when creating
a new project or a new view.
<p>It shows how javascript can interact with the workbench and how to run a web application
(a brick game) inside a view.</p>
<p>The views can be created using Eclipse with PDE only, but the inclusion of
web technology like the Wild Web Developer plug-in is recommended.</p>
<p>You can create a plug-in with a browser-technology-view via: <b>File &gt; New &gt; Other... &gt;
Plug-in Project</b>.
</p>
<p>On the last page of the wizard, you can select the template.</p>

editor</b>.</p>

<p>The <b>Workbench Interaction</b> view shows how to interact with the workbench using javascript.</p>

If the locations are expanded, it is possible to collapse all as shown below.
<p>
<img src="images/pde-collapse-all.png" alt="" />
The <b>Launch Configuration</b> Wizard offers a new option in the <b>Plug-ins</b> tab to include required but missing plug-ins or features automatically while launching an Eclipse or Equinox application.
By default this is enabled for Launch Configurations based on Features and disabled for those based on products, which reflects the previous behavior.
<p>
Missing plug-ins/features are only added to the launched application but not to the Launch Configuration.
This allows to specify only the 'root' features/plug-ins you actually want in your application and to let Eclipse include only the minimal set of requirements in each launch.
Consequently new dependencies don't have to be added to the Launch Configuration anymore.

This controls if the corresponding option, which is described above, is activated or not for the Launch Configuration associated with the product launch.

<td class="title"><a href="#launching-alignment">Products launched from IDE now better behave like products built with Maven/Tycho</a></td>
<td class="content">
Launching a Product from within the IDE via the <b>Product Editor</b> has been improved in the following aspects to result in an application whose set of plug-ins/features is as close as possible to what is assembled when the product is build by <b>Maven</b> and <b>Eclipse Tycho</b>:
<ul>
<li>You could use a target from a remote location (e.g. github-repository using http-protocol) in your local IDE.</li>
<li>You could use a target deployed at a maven repository using the mvn:&lt;groupid&gt;:&lt;artifactid&gt;:&lt;version&gt; (this requires m2eclipse with PDE integration)</li>
<li>You could extend an existing local target using eclipse-variables</li>
<li>You could combine any of the above options</li>
<li>Launching a product based on features creates a feature-based Launch Configuration</li>
<li>Missing requirements are included by default (as described above)</li>
<li>When launching a plugin-based product optional requirements are ignored by default when computing missing requirements</li>
<li>When automatically including requirements, fragments are not added just because their host-plug-in is included</li>
</ul>
Together with the <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/news/4.23/pde.php#eclipse-applications-launching" target="_blank">Improved launching of Eclipse/Equinox applications</a> in the previous release Eclipse 2022-03 it is now much simpler to set up products.
As an example, to create the Eclipse SDK as a Product you only have to create a Product with basic settings via the Wizard, configure it to use features and add the <code>org.eclipse.sdk</code> feature.
The Product is ready to launch.
If you want Git support, just add the <code>org.eclipse.egit</code> feature and in case you want to develop Maven projects in your Product, just add <code>org.eclipse.m2e.feature</code>.

<td class="title"><a href="#eclipse-applications-launching">Improved launching of Eclipse/Equinox applications</a></td>
<td class="content">
Launching Eclipse and Equinox applications based on features has been reworked:
<ul>
<li>To automatically add included and required features and their content</li>
<li>To obey the specified version match-rules of required plug-ins and features</li>
<li>To ignore included plug-ins or features if the specified environment does not match the target environment</li>
</ul>
<p>
When you <b>Add Required Plug-ins</b> to a plug-in based Eclipse/Equinox application launch, 'test'-fragments are not added anymore only because their host participates in the launch.
The same applies for launches based on features where requirements are added automatically.
Furthermore the handling of multiple versions of bundles with the same symbolic-name has been refined for plug-in and feature based launches.
