Hello Paul,

thanks for your contribution. There are some issues I would like to discuss.

• From my experience, Maven is great for software with 3rd party dependencies. Within the Eclipse build system, dependencies are managed with the help of the bundle descriptor. So I wonder why you took the effort.
• I believe that you added the content types for .apk and .aar to have that special Android archive icon. Am I right? Then I would suggest to do it even more simple: There is no need for another content type because the Android archives are zip files. Therefore the file extensions are added to the zipfile content type (jar is already there).
  To have that new icon, the new editor extension is added with the two file extensions but without content type binding.
  The problem with new content types was that the common navigator extension did not work correctly so that Android archives had not been explored.

I check-in the changes to CVS so that you could have a look at it.

Thanks again,
Uwe

First, sourceforge is so slow here in China.
2nd: CVS is so old.
Please convert to git and start using GitHub.

Maven) Maven tycho is for automatic builds. As I cannot build manually, I can work only if there is build, so I/user can check that sources are not brocken, etc

content types for .apk ) that was really mistake, that I discovered too late.
I spend half a day trying to convert to git (and have never worked with CVS or don't remember if that was CVS or other system 10 years ago)
Yes, this is not correct, but it works here in several my Eclipses without issues.
This part, is not perfect.

make ZipEditor default for all archive) I wonder why this plugin Editor is not default?

icon was visible and nice looking part, but that was in the end of day, when I could do nothing else.

Please migrate to GitHub
