"The p2.inf is *not* read at runtime." Maybe I misunderstood runtime then. Bear with me, I probably don't have a good command of the details (and sorry for derailing a bit here).
Thomas said: "It's not supposed to be included in the p2 repository", but, AFAICT, we do include p2.inf in our p2 repositories (within the features we publish). I'm assuming, though, that when we run our install procedure (p2 director), it reads p2.inf and applies the rules during installation. So is it not true that we do include p2.inf in our feature within the p2 repository? I agree, though, that after installation, during runtime of our application, p2.inf is not read. Thanks for any clarification! Cheers, Craig On Wed, Jun 6, 2012 at 10:11 AM, Pascal Rapicault <[email protected]>wrote: > Yes Thomas is correct.
