Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone new any more details on whether the new
provisioning functionality in Equinox will be able to handle non-Eclipse
applications? I read in one of the newsgroup posts that the provisioning
aspect will be...
"Extensible to support provisioning of Eclipse and non-Eclipse software"
We need to distribute various Eclipse configurations (ie specific versions
plus plugins etc...) but also non-Eclipse tools as part of that. Ideally
on the Agent it'd be great to see a list of all available applications,
including non-Eclipse ones. Is this possible now or is it still something
for the future?
Thanks for any information you can give.
Cheers,
Mark

p2 has been designed to install anything. That is what the touchpoint
extensions are for. A bundle is only one possible artifact in an IU.
When you say 'non-Eclipse' do you mean OSGi but not dependent on the
workbench, or are you talking about non-OSGi stuff? You talk about seeing
'applications' in the available IU list, but I don't understand what you
mean. You usually provision a profile (which represents a configuration
of a single application) with IUs (which usually but not necessarily
contain a bundle). If your applications are completely separate entities
(e.g. executable files) then they would not be provisioned inside another
application?
