p2 publishing

• There are a number of things that PDE build does in the process of "building" a feature/product that others (non-PDE folks) would like to do
• Much of this is related to p2 publishing
• The p2 team is seeing a number of bug reports against the p2 product publisher as well as missing parts of feature publishing
• Tycho-520 bug has a number of details
• lots of discussion in the call. We agreed that there is some potential to refactor the Eclipse / p2 parts of publishing/building (respectively) into some bundle that extends the base p2 publisher and can be used be PDE, Tycho, Buckminster, Ant/Ivy folks, ...
• Jeff to put something on p2-dev to see what folks think

M4 New and noteworthy

• People should proactively
• some core framework changes to be noted
• p2 topics?
  • space numbers
  • licensing improvements
  • new space stuff uses perm gen space so there may be some side-effects.

Coordinator

• new spec form OSGi for lightweight transaction-like behaviour
• John R was doing well on the implementation but the spec changed
• delivery will be delayed until M5
• Equinox impl may be the RI. Not sure at this point
