p2 ignoring plug-ins with unresolved dependencies in dropins folder [message #129860]

p2 (both in 3.4 and 3.5) appears to silently ignore plug-ins in the
"dropins" folder if they have unresolved dependencies. Such plug-ins don't
appear in the plug-in registry, and no messages appear in the error log
either. Is this behavior normal, and if yes, is there a way to make p2 a
bit more verbose?

I think you can use -debug and -clean arguments (via command-line or in
eclipse.ini) to force it to log all plug-in loading failures. The OSGi
console can also help here, although I'm not really familiar with how to
use it.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Thanks, -debug makes the warnings about unresolved dependencies appear in
the log. The OSGi console doesn't appear to list bundles with unresolved
dependencies (at least not when using the ss command)...
