Hi,

how do I create and run 3 different apps using different configuration
areas but from the same install (bundle pool)?

Problem Background:
Our product contains of many eclipse plugins with extensions, extension
points, libraries etc.. related plugins are pacakged together as Eclipse
features for distribution. The Problem is to make the product work for
known versions of installed plugins. Say ProjectA created on Product
Version 1.0.0, and ProjectB created on Product Version 2.0.0. When the
user works on ProjectA, the Product Version 1.0.0 (i.e., plugins of
version 1.0.0) should be activated and all others versions should be
deactivated and similarly for other versions of plugins. The newer
versions of the plugins might contain bug fixes, new features, new
extensions, new extension points etc... This is for our headless product
which contains about 50 plugins.

I am thinking of multiple configurations with each bundles.info to load a
version set of plugins to load.

Questions:
1) Are there any implications of editing bundles.info manually, are there
any other alternatives or API ways which are safe to do?
2) Do I need to replicate configuration folders completely or a subset of
configuration folder resources is enough, if so which resource in that
folder are must in the replicated configuration folders?

Thanks much in advance,
Nitha
