I did read this note before asking my question. I can’t
quite parse the last sentence. Are you saying that 3.5 will have Touchpoint
enhancements that provide the same functionality as the UM install handlers?
Also see: http://www.eclipse.org/newsportal/article.php?id=76463&group=eclipse.platform#76463.
The author of this note believes that Touchpoint will never provide install
handlers.

Will P2 ever support install handlers that execute
code?
|
|
I have been
reading about P2 and its lack of support for update manager style install
handlers, and the touchpoint technology in various places.
We (Curl
Development Tools for Eclipse) use an install handler to write a property file
that we later use to find and launch our RTE.
From reading
the Touchpoint instructions at your wiki, it looks like the p2 in 3.4 is not
able to execute install handler code like the update manager. Right?
Question:
Will P2 be able to do that in some version? When?
