[p2-dev] P2 discovery UI with uninstall option

[Genevieve Bastien <gbastien+lttng@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,


As a followup on last week's email where I was directed to the discovery 
UI, I have been prototyping to add the possibility to list and check 
installed plugin and uninstall them if they are unchecked. It works as a 
prototype though there's some details to fix, for example, I can't do 
both install and uninstall operations at the same time, otherwise the 
second has an outdated profile. I'm not sure how to do them sequentially.


I added a parameter to the 
"org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.discovery.commands.ShowRepositoryCatalog" 
command like this:

        <commandParameter
id="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.discovery.commands.AllowUninstallParameter"
               name="Allow Uninstallation from P2 Discovery UI"
               optional="true">
         </commandParameter>


Would you be interested if I contribute this upstream? I might also add 
a link in the wizard for the "check for updates" wizard, just to have a 
one place access to all those repo-related operations.


Cheers,

Geneviève
