Julien,
Generally only the root installed features will be checked for updates.
But depending on how these features' recursive requirements are exactly
specified, that may or may not allow for updates of those indirect
requirements (on various other features and bundles). But generally
the p2 metadata produced for a feature.xml will lock in very specific
versions of their included bundles and features which prevents those
from being updated to a different version. That's sometimes annoying
and then folks will use p2.inf information to specify looser
requirements. E.g., the platform uses EMF but in an installation of
some Eclipse package/product the users want to be able to update/install
a newer version of EMF.
Regards,
Ed

Hi all,
I’m working on an Eclipse RCP with update process enabled; check for
update works like a charm, relying on our product repository (internal
company server).
Today we are asked to integrate the Marketplace feature. This is also
already working fine thenceforth we declare an Eclipse repository URL
from the Available Software Sites list. Otherwise there are often some
unresolved features errors during Marketplace features install.
But this point generates questions on the check for update mechanism,
do having Eclipse repository declared could propagate Eclipse updates
“behind our back” at each startup?
When we had only our repo url it was ensuring to propagate only our
updates, but now that 2 urls are defined.. what could happen.
My understanding of Eclipse/RCP is that only features defined in
.product, those available in “Installed Software” tab, are in the
scope of this check for update feature, but having some more opinions
from p2-experts could help me to feel for comfortable with.
Thanks by advance
