Re: [equinox-dev] same bundle in multiple regions

[BJ Hargrave <hargrave@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You can install the same bundle (same bits)
using different locations strings. But a location string is a unique identifier
for an installed bundle. Use the 2 argument version of BundleContext.installBundle
using unique location strings to install a bundle from the same URL multiple
times.

Hey folks,

I have a question on installing a bundle
from the same location.
Take the latest Virgo 3.0.x as a good example
of more than one region and connect with telnet to each console.
If you try to install a bundle from the same
location in both regions via each region's console this will fail with
something like "Bundle already installed...".

Is this working as designed? Shouldn't it
be possible to install a bundle from the same location(same string) if
it's in different regions - Equinox may treat it as a different bundle
and create it its own data folder, id, etc?
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/equinox-dev/msg06875.html suggest
that should be possible, as the first installation won't be visible to
the context of the other region.

Thanks,
