[p2-dev] Equinox P2 executable updates

[Prodan Daniela <daniela.prodan@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

For an Eclipse based product that has the following content:

eclipse/
      configuration/
      dropins/
      features/
      jre/
      p2/
      plugins/
      readme
folder1/
folder2/

is it possible to install updates that will be installed in folder1/ or folder2/ ?
Equinox P2 can run updates that are actually .exe files and not only eclipse folder will be updated, but also files from folder1/ or folder2/ ?

And how the Equinox P2 manages updates that are executables? Runs the .exe file in background, in the command line? Or it can run the .exe file and start the graphic interface for that update and the user can go on with the installation?

Thank you,
Daniela Prodan
