I happened to need some time to relax this weekend so worked on Orbit, and decided to fix a long standing bug about our funny looking "build-time-only" features.
Bug 389988 [1] - Rename and add description to Orbit features in p2 repo to make clear what's inside
You can "see" the changes by pointing your favorite p2 UI (say, to select items for PDE Runtime Target) to this latest I-Build repo (and contrast with, say, to previous S-build repo)
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/I20130304045055/repository/
I was going to remove both build-time features, but doing that causes "no items available" to be displayed, if a user de-selects "Group items by category" -- which I thought looked funny. So, I left one in, with an expanded description to "use the categories".
Playing with it since, I found you can select the feature in PDE Runtime target, de-select the resolution check, and download everything. That's not really an intended use-case, and is sort of "the hard way" to use Orbit (since it downloads everything then,
and users would still have to deselect many items before it could be used, since many are unresolvable as-is or conflict with each) but not sure if we should out-right prevent it (by removing that feature too) or if things are good the way they are.
I just wanted to call your attention to this change before we declared our M6 build later this week, in case anyone knows of any use-cases that this will impact, that I am not aware of, or if anyone has any suggestions for fine tuning. If so, please comment
in the bug.
Thanks,
