Re: [p2-dev] IProfileUpdateRequest

The expectation is that you use an IProfileChangeRequest instance created by the planner you want to invoke:

IPlanner planner = ...;//
IProfileChangeRequest pcr = planner.createChangeRequest(profile);
pcr.add(...);
planner.getProvisioningPlan(pcr, context, monitor);

You can't create your own implementation of IProfileChangeRequest and pass it to an arbitrary planner if that's what you are asking. The planner and change request are tightly coupled, which is why the IProfileChangeRequest factory method is located on the planner.

In the 3.6 planner, the API signature of the getProvisioningPlan method is this:

  public IProvisioningPlan getProvisioningPlan(IProfileChangeRequest profileChangeRequest, ProvisioningContext context, IProgressMonitor monitor);

The first param...i.e. profileChangeRequest has type IProfileChangeRequest.  But in the SimplePlanner implementation, however, is this code:

   public IProvisioningPlan getProvisioningPlan(IProfileChangeRequest request, ProvisioningContext context, IProgressMonitor monitor) {
      ProfileChangeRequest pcr = (ProfileChangeRequest) request;
     ...

Note that this first line of the getProvisioningPlan implementation requires that the request be of type ProfileChangeRequest...or subclass...and ProfileChangeRequest is a non-API class (at least in m6)...i.e.

org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.director.ProfileChangeRequest

meaning that other clients of the IPlanner (at least using the simple planner), must use ProfileChangeRequest to use the SimplePlanner.  Is this desired?

Thanks,

Scott
