How do I find the Install Unit (IU) for a particular plug-in? [message #523900]

It seems to me that we need a reverse-lookup feature that allows for searching for a plug-in id and getting back a list of the features / install units that the plug-in is a member of.

I am trying to find out which install unit contains the org.junit4 plug-in so that I can add that IU to my target file. I don't want to just add everything in order to figure out which one it is, but it seems like guessing or asking is the only way to find out.

Hi,

"org.junit4" is actually an IU by itself, but you cannot add that using the UI in 3.5.
This will be fixed in 3.6:
http://bugs.eclipse.org/291227

In 3.5 you can add the IU manually by editing the target as .text file, for example:

<target name="Eclipse RCP + JUnit">
<locations>
<location includeAllPlatforms="true" includeMode="slicer" type="InstallableUnit">
<unit id="org.eclipse.rcp.sdk.id" version="3.5.2.M20100211-1343"/>
<unit id="org.junit4" version="4.5.0.v20090824"/>
<unit id="org.junit4.source" version="4.5.0.v20090824"/>
<repository location=" http://eclipsemirror.yoxos.com/eclipse.org/releases/galileo/"/>
</location>

Greetings,

Ralf
