Equinox p2 Touchpoint Instructions
A P2 installable Unit (IU) can be installed into one touchpoint. The IU meta data consists of a reference to the touchpoint (Touchpoint Type), and describes a set of actions/instructions to execute on the referenced touchpoint. Currently, two touchpoints (native, and eclipse) have been implemented. The native touchpoint has aprox 5 different actions, and the eclipse touchpoint has aprox 20. Some of these actions take parameters. The actions and parameters are encoded in a Map where they keys are the references to actions, and the value is a single parameter, or a map of multiple parameters. This wiki page describes the two touchpoints, and the instructions they understand.
Native Touchpoint
The native touchpoint is used to install things "outside of eclipse".
