Re: [provisioning-dev] Equinox p2 M3: Configure startup parameters of a

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This kind of functionality is a bit
out of scope for the admin UI right now. There are lower level tools, particularly
an application/ant task called the "generator" that can be used
to assemble your own application, but no UI-level tools yet. The kind of
functionality you're looking for will likely end up surfacing as part of
PDE (Plug-in Development Environment), which is starting to incorporate
tooling for p2 metadata and artifacts.
