Re: [p2-dev] What can enablement filters contain?

Thanks John.

This is actually for one of the external-facing developer plugins, where independent users will come to our update site.  So their profiles will not have any properties supplied by us.  We don't want to upgrade their Eclipse version to 3.5 just to install our development plugins, so we would like to match the IU we show them to either 3.4 or 3.5.  The requirements of the IUs will be specified correctly, we just want to limit what is presented so we don't have to present "XXX (for Eclipse 3.4)"  "XXX (for Eclipse 3.5)".

Can anyone think of a property that would work for this?

You can filter on any property defined in the profile. There is no specific property denoting an Eclipse 3.4 versus 3.5 install, but you could always add a new property for 3.5-based installs and then filter on the existence of that new property.

[p2-dev] What can enablement filters contain?





I've never seen anything more than ws/os/arch and the "org.eclipse.update.install.features=true" profile property in an enablement filter.  Can other properties be used?  

Specifically, can I hide an IU that is only known to work with Eclipse 3.4 via this mechanism?  I'm wondering if I can provide different versions of a feature in the same repository and have the Eclipse UI only present the version that matches their base install.

Thanks,
Terry Parker
