Re: [ecf-dev] ECF SDK Update

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Markus,

I was wrong in my assertion that there is nothing in our current repo 
that tells P2 how to install EMF bundles upon which ECF depends.  With a 
new version of Eclipse (RC1) and a new version of our repo built last 
night, ECF does indeed install the EMF bundles that we need...as part of 
ECF install.

So, as it turns out what we were previously seeing was a bug in either 
p2, our repo/the publisher that created it, or both.
