Equinox Resolver and p2 Resolver

• uses and equinox resolver.
  • Equinox resolver has some heuristics for reducing the solution set and timeouts for limiting the amount of time it allows to be used to resolve uses constraints. Katya to open a bug to add ways of tweaking these heuristics and timeout values.
• lazy activation, equinox has a compatibility flag osgi.compatibility.eagerStart.LazyActivation which is set to true by default. bug 177641.

I'm feeling lucky
