Re: [p2-dev] Upgrades through ProfileChangeRequest
|
The PCR is the lowest level mechanism to reason about what is installed. As such it does not enforce any policy to automatically detect updates from things that are already installed.
Some of the logic you are looking for is available in the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.operations bundle.
If using operations is not a possibility for you, then you will have to detect the presence of the IU you are trying to install by querying the profile.
