RE: [p2-dev] please add org.eclipse.equinox.concurrent to project set fi

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks...a little explanation about this request:

ECF filetransfer depends upon ECF core. Without the futures support in 
the jobs API, we need to put the JobsExecutor in ECF core so we can use 
it in several other ECF bundles. Therefore ECF core has a new (and 
currently marked as optional) dep on the equinox.concurrent...so equinox 
concurrent is needed to compile ecf core from source.

Filetransfer (and therefore p2) doesn't have any dependencies on either 
equinox.concurrent or the new JobsExecutor in ECF core...so given the 
optional dependency it won't be necessary to add equinox.concurrent to 
the set of bundles ECF contributes to the SDK. But equinox.concurrent 
will be needed to compile ECF core...thus the need to add to p2 project 
set (this request).

Another option would be to eliminate the ECF projects from the p2 
project files completely...which would also be fine with me BTW.  This 
would work as long as one was using a fairly recent version of 
Eclipse/p2/ECF as the target platform.
