Answering myself: - In Oxygen p2 publisher will not parse the Require-Capability/Provide-Capability manifest headers. - The support for generic reqs/caps is limited to p2.inf files that need to be maintained manually. - The p2 internal representation of a capability is limited to the (namespace, name, version) triplet. - Therefore it is not possible to express the full information contained in the bundle manifest via p2.inf or generally in p2. The users need to select one most meaningful capability attribute and map that to the p2 model.
After a lot of digging through the p2 code it seems that: - The internal representation of a requirement can already match against capabilities using an LDAP filter. - Therefore there is hope for a generic solution if the internal representation of a capability is extended to support an attribute map.
