Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Optional Fragments

Having a dependency on the necessary fragment is not always possible for
two reasons:
- fragment may become available at a later date (for example language
packs, or new SWT ports once you shipped)
- you don't provision from a "group" that refers to everything (for example
some people just want to install one installable unit)

One problem, how do we provision a fully functional SWT on someone's
machine when it just installed "org.eclipse.swt", or installed another IU
that required org.eclipse.swt?

  Subject:    [equinox-dev] [prov] Optional Fragments                                                                                    
                                                                                                                                         





For the discussion tomorrow I miss the point. Isn't a fragment only
optional if an installable unit does not require it? Do we need more than
the IsOptional() in RequiredCapability class?
