Eclipse Platform
Map of Platform Plug-ins
The Eclipse Platform provides basic support for plug-ins, resources, and the workbench.
The Eclipse Platform itself is divided up into a number of separate plug-ins.
The following table shows which API packages are found in which plug-ins as of
Eclipse 3.0. This table is useful for
determining which plug-ins a given plug-in should include as prerequisites.

Note 1: Plug-ins needing access to the Eclipse runtime API must list org.eclipse.core.runtime (or org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility) as a prerequisite plug-in. org.eclipse.core.runtime re-exports API from the OSGi-specific plug-ins (e.g., org.eclipse.osgi). The OSGi plug-ins should never be explicitly listed as prerequisites.
Note 2: These pre-3.0 API packages are obsolete and have been moved to the org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility plug-in.
Note 3: Plug-ins needing access to the JFace API must list org.eclipse.ui as a prerequisite plug-in. org.eclipse.ui re-exports API from the JFace plug-in. The org.eclipse.jface plug-in should never be explicitly listed as a prerequisite.
Note 4: Some of the JFace text packages are split between the org.eclipse.jface.text and the org.eclipse.text plug-ins.
Note 5: Plug-ins needing access to the SWT API must list org.eclipse.ui as a prerequisite plug-in. org.eclipse.ui re-exports API from the SWT plug-in. The org.eclipse.swt plug-in should never be explicitly listed as a prerequisite.
Note 6: The org.eclipse.ui.texteditor package is split between the org.eclipse.ui.editors and the org.eclipse.ui.workbench.texteditor plug-ins.
Note 7: Plug-ins needing access to the Workbench UI API must list org.eclipse.ui as a prerequisite plug-in. org.eclipse.ui re-exports API from the org.eclipse.ui.workbench plug-in. The org.eclipse.ui.workbench plug-in should never be explicitly listed as a prerequisite.
Note 8: Some of the UI packages are split between the org.eclipse.ui and the org.eclipse.ui.ide plug-ins.
