Re: [p2-dev] tooling... IU requirements
|
Yes this is correct. The goal of such IUs is to apply a common configuration to all the bundles.
For example in Eclipse every bundles but a few need to be started at start level 4. Since nothing happens for free in p2, there needs to be a configuration unit (an IUFragment) to delivers this information to every bundle. To avoid the creation of a plethora of CU (one per IU that delivers a bundle) it is much more maintainable to have one CU that attaches to multiple IUs. An example of such IU is tooling.osgi.bundle.default.
