p2 solutions for forking
- Object Teams contributed a patch to Indigo that use the JDT namespace and versions (different qualifier)
- This causes problems at the bundle / package consumer level
- Much discussion
- Consider making a magic capability in say the OT feature and have the OT jdt.core require that capability
- John will give Andrew the bug number and Andrew will summarize
SAP p2 minimization
- ECF
- Registry
- Preferences
- Jobs
- not keen on changing to another containerism. Better to isolate the p2 code
- Pascal to folowup with SAP to clarify some of the requirements and directions
EclipseCon talks
- Ian discussed various options for p2 related eclipsecon talks
- proposed doing a tutorial to highlight the API via an installer or some such
Removal of manifests
- Dean has supplied a patch to remove the manifests from the p2 metadata
- Seems like we are not really using the manifest info
- 3.6 will not be able to install from 3.7 repos because they have no manifest info
- have the room to make 3.6.2 capable of dealing with missing manifests
- consider leaving in some stubs of the manifest to keep 3.6 happy
- can stop refering to the manifest
