Re: [p2-dev] HOWTO: use <p2.mirror><slicingOptions filter="..."/></p2.mi

[Nick Boldt <nickboldt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, my workaround is to just use Ant to selectively copy from the site 
dump to a new folder. Download is 60M including the .blobstore (45M 
without), then the resulting subset zip is 13M.

It's not the most efficient because it pulls 4x as much stuff as I want, 
but it still only takes about 6 mins when my network is cooperating. :)

Is there a slicing option to NOT download all the deps and only grab the 
specified IUs?

If I get time to play with this more, I'd like to switch from

a) generating site.xml from the list of features in the folder, then
b) using EclipseGenerator to gen the metadata

to

a) using the Features & Plugins Publisher.

I expect the Publisher will do the same thing but with significantly 
less code.
