| Re: [mpc-dev] Auto-filter MPC based on Eclipse Package |

@benjamin, when MPC is first started, what is the product code sent
to get the featured list? Is that product code an extermalized
string that can be customized by EPP? Nathan, can confirm but I
think the backend does look at the code. @eric on the backend we have rules on what solutions we return. For instance, we only return listings that have proper IUs setup so they can actually be installed We also only return listings that are licensed oss or from Foundation member companies.

To dig a little further, if the Eclipse Marketplace backend were to handle that parameter and return some results, would it be to the full set of solutions? I don't want anything to prevent users from seeing all the solutions, but it would be nice if the solutions for mobile and embedded devices were listed first. I say this, since the user has chosen a specific package, presumably he wants solutions for those roles. At least at first, then they can look for other tools to fulfill their job role.

This way the server can actually response with different features for a particular product (or EPP package as they have their own product). As far as I know, the Eclipse Marketplace currently ignores the product attribute. Hope that helps, Benjamin On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 5:22 PM, ERIC CLONINGER <dcp874@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hello all, I'm working on a new EPP project for mobile devices, as described by this bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=376258 Ian and I were discussing how this package would operate and I have a thought. Would it be possible for MPC to load with the filters pre-selected based on the package? Perhaps some bit of data about the package itself could be fed into MPC or read from the initial query to know which filters to apply.
