RE: [p2-dev] Backporting p2 to Eclipse 3.4

["Cetateanu Marius-B01107" <Marius.Cetateanu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pascal,

Thanks for the quick answer. I will start looking into the p2 plugins
and give it a try.
I'll get back if I get any results or get stuck in the process.

	Hi Marius, 
	
	This is not something that we actively support nor that we have
tried.
	However I think it should be doable given that in 3.4 the
dependencies on p2 from the other plug-ins was rather minimal. In fact,
running the API usage tool [1], the only reference I got back was
org.eclipse.pde.p2.ui, which I believe you could simply punt if it
turned out to be incompatible.
	
	However this will not get you the new about dialog behavior
which provides a way for users to uninstall or revert since this relies
on new functionality being introduced in UI plug-in in 3.5. That said
this could probably easily be backported to 3.4 as well as this is
rather self contained.
	
	HTH

	Hi,
	
	I would like to know if it's possible and feasible to backport
the whole
	p2 updater feature 
	to Eclipse 3.4. We're working on an Eclipse based IDE and we
cannot
	update for the time being 
	to Eclipse 3.5 but we would benefit from having the p2 updater
feature
	from 3.5 in our product.
	If it's possible (we have about 3 weeks to do the backporting)
could
	anyone point me to 
	the documentation I should read to start the process?
	
	Thanks
