[equinox-dev] Question on Profiles / p2 and standalone Osgi

[Chase Wolfinger <chase.wolfinger@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello - I am trying to use profiles with a standalone osgi  
application. I have set the osgi app to use a specific p2 data area  
and with a profile I defined using the admin GUI. The profile  
references a shared bundle location. When I start the osgi application  
from eclipse it loads the p2 bundles i have defined in my target. I  
can determine that the app's profile is set to the one I defined and  
that the profile has the correct list of IUs. What I cannot figure out  
is how to get the p2 framework to reconcile what is currently  
installed at startup with what the profile says should be installed.   
Is it possible to get p2 to update the installed plugins based on a  
profile passed in at startup?
