[p2-dev] Extension Repo synchronization Issue after the Garbage collecto

[ali_anwar <ali_anwar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pascal/Anyone,

I have eclipseextension repo initialized and added in known 
repositories. After the garbage collector is invoked the base 
repo(dest_dir/eclipse) is updated and saved by the 
SimpleArtifactRepository.executeBatch function, also the timestamp is 
updated.  But nothing is done as far as eclipseextension repo is 
concerned.  It’s state remains initialized and hence the repo is not 
updated/synched when we start collecting IUs after the garbage collection.

AFAIU, there is need to reinitialize the extension repo but I have a 
question where it is suitable to do so? Should it be part of 
executeBatch function?

Thanks,
-Ali
