[equinox-dev] dependency resolver

["Rafael Chaves" <Rafael_Chaves@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I just released into the Dynamic_Plugins
branch the incremental dependency resolver code I have been working on.
This is still an ongoing work, and the code is not being used in the registry
resolution - but is just a matter of changing PluginRegistryModel.resolve
to call a different version of the RegistryResolver (see below). I also
released some updates to the Dynamic Plugins web pages to describe how
the registry resolver works using a dependency system.

Keith, there is a class called RegistryResolver2
that shows how to resolve the registry using a dependency resolver. If
you want to try to use it with the refactored version you were working
on, the source code in the RegistryResolver2.resolve() (but only that method)
may be  a good reference.

I also brought the org.eclipse.core.tests.runtime
project (version R2_1) to Equinox head, and released the modified test
cases (including new test cases for the dependencies) to the Dynamic_Plugins
branch.
