Helios SR2 ini issues

• When updating SR1 -> SR2 ini gets deleted
  • metadata for SR2 incorrectly states uppercase Eclipse for the executable which causes p2 to delete the eclipse.ini
  • may need to fix frameworkadmin to handle this better

M6 API freeze

• Simplification of Operation API. Provide a factory to make it easier to create Operation objects
• Use of services vs extensions.
• Bundle pool locking

Shared install status

• Fix the error message, there is an existing bug report already.
  • Conflicting requirements that cannot be met, message.
  • Not trying to update the base UIs. Is that possible?
    • Dean says there is not much we can do because we don't know what is going to change until after we send the problem to sat4j.
    • Pascal - but we know what roots are in the read-only install. Only look for updates for IUs from the users profile.

Install dialog requires compare

• Makes it hard to use in RCP
  • should we consider an option dependency.
  • bug 338351
