[pde-dev] PDE product based build & p2.gathering : incompatible ? 
Hello all,
I'm using PDE build to build a product; and while this product is being
built, a P2 repo containing all my features and plugins is created at
the end of my build, thanks to p2.gathering=true.

Now here's the thing I noticed : while this p2 repo is built ok, it
includes dependencies of my features and plugins; I mean all transitive
dependencies; so if my product just depend on pluginA, then the
buildRepo will contain pluginA and all of its transitive dependencies;
something I definitely don't want for a p2 repo...

The thing is, if I use PDE build to build a feature, containing the same
plugin as my product, then the buildRepo created (still thanks to
p2.gathering=true) will only contain pluginA and the feature.

And now I'm thinking : maybe PDE build was just created with 2 separate
use cases in mind : whether I want to crate a product OR I want to
create a P2 repo, but not both at once !

So, tell me guys, how do you proceed when you want to build a product
and export its plugins and features via a P2 repo  ? do you do 2
separate builds ? (one for the product, another just creating the P2
repo based on features )
Or is it possible to do both at once  (without bringing all the
transitive dependencies in the P2 buildRepo)

By the way, this concern seems to have be raised in this bug : 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=313334 , but I'm not sure
it is the same issue discussed

Thanks a lot for your answers
