Resolving the bundle dependencies dynamically [message #108504]

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can resolve the dependencies of a bundle before I
start it?

My usecase is that I wish to export a bundle from the framework to another
framework. I need to know which other bundles are required for it to work,
so that I can export them too. What needs to be checked is not only the
required bundles, but also the imported packages, which need to be matched
to the defining bundles.

I could do it by parsing all Manifests of all bundles and sorting out the
links, but if there were a tool or an internal Equinox feature, it would be
much easier.

Greetings,
Boyan.

You should take a look at p2.
This is "exactly" what it does.

Thanks, but I actually wrote a simple class that does the same.

P2 seems really nice though. I'll try it out later.
