[equinox-dev] Re: equinox-dev Digest, How to recognize Categories, Features, , Bundles and Products?
I am implementing a p2 repository tree view in Buckminster Aggregator. I want it to look similar to what is displayed in the p2 installer UI, so I am trying to get oriented in the IU categorization - but I got confused.

I hope that my intention is now clearer and you can help me with this issue.

Thanks,

Filip

Perhaps some information on why you are doing this would help.  It  
seems that you are infering some semantics from things that just  
*happen* to be a certain way. This may change in the future so  
understanding what you are actually looking for would help.

Hi all,

I have difficulties with IU analysis. I wonder what determines the  
type of an IU.

Basically we can analyze following properties:

1) does ID end with ".feature.group" or not?
2) is "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.category" set to true?
3) is "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.group" set to true?

My guess is that this we could use following algorithm:

         
if 
("true 
".equalsIgnoreCase 
(iu.getProperty(IInstallableUnit.PROP_TYPE_CATEGORY))) {
             
if 
("true 
".equalsIgnoreCase(iu.getProperty(IInstallableUnit.PROP_TYPE_GROUP)))
                return NESTED_CATEGORY;
            else
                return CATEGORY;
        }
         
if 
("true 
".equalsIgnoreCase(iu.getProperty(IInstallableUnit.PROP_TYPE_GROUP)))
            return PRODUCT;
        if(iu.getId().endsWith(".feature.group"))
            return FEATURE;
        if(iu.isFragment())
            return FRAGMENT;
        if(iu.isBundle())
            return BUNDLE;
        return OTHER;

You may have noticed that I also used two category variants - normal  
and nested. This is an attempt to handle cases such as http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo 
 | General Purpose Tools | PDE/API Tools Environment Descriptions.

The algorithm looks fairly complicated. Is there any standard method  
for this in p2 code? If not, is my suggestion correct?

Thanks,

Filip
