Description
This bug is an outgrowth of bug 401273.
In that bug, it was decided to allow uniquely named "about.html" files.
I believe, in practice the form is "about..html".
And, I suggest that be confirmed and codified (as 'bundleId'), as it helps "automatic" processing, and "UI" code (see bug 459959).
But, in any case, current EUA, see
https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl/notice.php
says specifically,
The terms and conditions governing Plug-ins and Fragments should be contained in files named "about.html" ("Abouts").
I suggest this be changed to
The terms and conditions governing Plug-ins and Fragments should be contained in files named "about.html" or "about..html" ("Abouts").
My personal (non legal) opinion is that this is not "important enough" to change the EUA just for this change ... but, the next time EUA is updated, it should contain this clarification.
