Re: [p2-dev] Projector weight function

For a new install (which is the case in a tycho build), the intent is for the resolver to return the highest version available.
For addition on top of an install or update, the algorithm is a bit more complex but should favour the highest version of the things being in the transitive closure of what is being changed.

Could you please open a bug (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Equinox) with the necessary IUs to recreate the problem.

Thx

Hi,
 
while investigating a problem resulting in bug
I stumbled over the behavior of org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.director.Projector.
 
Out of curiosity. Is there a description of the weight function used to determine a solution?
In my example a feature includes a single plugin without a version constraint. (0.0.0)
The search scope contains two version of the required plugin.
The solution provided by the projector contains the plugin with the smaller version.
My assumption would have been to prefer a solution with latest plugin version.
The difference I see is that the higher version plugin defines more dependencies.
Is it intended to prefer a small installation over a new one?
 
Best regards,
Eckart
