Hi Pascal,
Actually this confirms exactly what we have been
seeing. thanks for the info.
BR,
Dom
When p2 installs from a legacy site, it has partial metadata for what
is on the site. This partial metadata contains an IU for each feature and one
stub IU that has no requirements for each plugin included in the feature.
Consequently, any dependency from one of the plugin onto any other plugin not
listed in the feature will result in an error.
For example
Feature 1
incl Bundle A
requires Bundle
B
will result in an error if Bundle B is not listed in Feature 1.
This behaviour is done by design and in alignment with the behaviour that
UM had. It also done because doing a complete metadata generation (ie.
generating requirements with bundles) would require pulling down every single
bundle from the server even though you may not install it.

Hi Pascal,
Basically what happens is that P2 says that the plug-in
can't be found in my repo even though it is there. This happens for any
bundle that I have in Required-Bundles in a MANFIEST.MF. So, I was
trying to find the place in the code with breakpoints, where it compiles
the list of Required-Bundles and then tries to find them in the Repo, would
this be in the validateProfile?
Thanks in advance,
Dom
Hi Dom,
What is the error message returned by p2?
When installing bundles from a legacy update site (site.xml), p2 does an
additional resolution phase at the end of the install to check the consistency
of the resulting installation since all the necessary MD was not available up
front. This is done in EclipseTouchpoint#validateProfile

Hi
All,
I
am trying to debug something in p2. I see that my installations
fail when it comes to required bundles in the MANIFEST.MF files and I am
trying to track down how this is processed with a legacy site.xml site and
not an up to date p2 site (content and artifact
jars). I can't seem to find where it actually tries
to resolve the file path and install of these bundles but I do see the
provided capabilities get handled. BTW, I am not saying this is a bug
in p2, I have added some code into the platform and trying to debug, but I
have not added any code in this area when it comes to MANIFEST.MF
processing.
Thanks in advance,
