Scott, can you (or your secret source :-) elaborate on the technical issues why the drop-ins cannot be used in RCP applications? This surprises me and I would like to understand it more.
Thanks.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for this info...what I'm *not* seeing happen in the rcp case is that the install actually happens on restart...i.e. nothing happens on restart.

Hi Scott,
I think this should work, there is more code that should be triggered to actually install the IUs that get created.
See org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.reconciler.dropins.Activator#synchronize. This calls ProfileSynchronizer to install the things it finds in the dropins repositories.
Maybe you are seeing https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=227547, this synchronization only happens once on startup. If something gets dropped in later it wouldn't get picked up until next restart.

I've heard through my extensive underground network at EclipseCon that
p2 doesn't currently support using dropins support for rcp apps...so
unless I hear otherwise I'll just end this thread.
Thanks DJ for your replies.
Scott
