Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] More on greedy install attribute ...

Hi,

Some bundles from Acceleo (org.eclipse.acceleo.*) appear in this list. For example :

  1. org.eclipse.core.filesystem
  2. Number of IUs using optional, but greedy for this case: 2

    1. org.eclipse.acceleo.common


Acceleo is developped as an Eclipse plugin, yet it is also meant to be useable in a standalone environment. When installed in Eclipse, we depend on org.eclipse.core.* bundles to provide additional functionality and integration. However, none of these dependencies are mandatory when using it as a standalone generation tool. So yes, we are indeed greedy (but in fact, it should be quite difficult to _not_ have o.e.c.filesystem installed before us right? org.eclipse.core.runtime and org.eclipse.core.resources should probably be ignored too by this report), _and_ optional since the dependency is not really needed in other environments.

I believe that these cases should be exceptions to the "greedy" report. How could we document/track these? Or is my understanding wrong here?

No, you're not wrong. This is exactly the kind of scenario that the greedy attribute was supposed to cover.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
