Guillaume Nodet commented on FELIX-2110:
----------------------------------------

Ok, I'll have a look, but this forces the user to actually implement Resource 
and Requirement.
I don't really see the point in forcing the user doing so.

I think the resolver concept is not to resolve a set of resources, but to 
resolve a set of requirements.  If the requirement is 
   bundle:(&(symbolicname=xxx)(version=yyy))
then so be it.
But the use cases I had in mind is the an easy way to say "OBR, you're kinda 
smart: give the set of bundles so that I can have this service".  Or  "What do 
I have to deploy if I need the xxx package".  

Currently, the loop is done a resource, but I think it would be cleaner to 
resolve a requirement.

> For example if one want to resolve a given package.
> We could add
>    void add(Requirement requirement);
> on the Resolver.
> Another way would be to create a fake resource with the requirement.  This 
> works as long as you don't want to actually install, because the resolver 
> would then need a real resource.  So in all cases, the resolver need to know 
> about those resources, so it may be easier to let him create and handle those 
> completely.
