Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2009-06-11 22:01:36 EDT 
When provisioning from a remote site, it could good to add the bundle pool of the running eclipse as a potential source of bundles. This would allow for a faster installation since instead of downloading bundles over the wire, we would just copy from the disk. 
This makes the case where I want in my target the same Platform than the one used in my SDK faster.

Yes, we want to do this. I assume we add the local profile as a known metdata repository to our context when planning/slicing. But, how do we get an IMetadataRepository from an IProfile?
Comment 2 Curtis Windatt CLA 2009-06-12 09:57:44 EDT 
Is there any concern that adding the running Eclipse to the list of metadata repositories will result in problems in the install dialog?  Since they share the same list of repos.
