Even better, add the supported file types as a provided capability in the
p2 metadata just like we do with Java packages now.

can you explain that part a bit more ? what do we do with java packages now in p2 metadata ?

That¹s something we
could easily do now with no code required by the provider other than the p2.inf file. And on the consumer side, it should be easy to install with
the capability as a dependency.

WTP actually recently added support for using p2 info for enhancing the server adapter install.

Still needs some central place (i.e. marketplace) to perform this lookup in unless you assume
users have all worlds p2 update sites added to their install ;)

I¹ve been following this discussion with interest and I just wanted to point out a possible, somewhat vague, solution to one of these issues. A registry of file types and associated editors with p2 install locations could be shipped with each EPP package, so that Eclipse would know how to install the preferred editor when missing. This could even be extended to use the Eclipse Marketplace for file types not supported by any of the
Eclipse projects. ³Someone² could flag i.e. the WTP XML editor as
³recommended², other editors supporting XML should also be listed.
