Resolving plugin prerequisites in 3.0 [message #198449]

I've discovered a different behaviour (API result) between Eclipse 2.x and
3.0 (milestone 7). I call
org.eclipse.core.runtime.IPluginDescriptor.getPluginPrerequi sites() in my
tool to resolve plugin dependencies. In Eclipse 2.x the method returned
all direct dependencies (only those declared directly in plugin.xml), in
Eclipse 3.0 the method returns the completely resolved dependency tree of
the plugin (all plugin the given plugin needs to successfully execute).
Is this a bug or wanted behaviour? If this is wanted, can anybody advise
how to retrieve only direct dependencies of a plugin?

Thanks for any help,
Michael

sounds like a bug. Please enter a bug report in the Equinox component.
Some example plugin structures would be good. Thanks
