[spaces-dev] P2 Publishing Area Type

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

I'm looking into creating a pure Publishing Area Type for P2. One of the 
first steps I'd like to take is to do some refactoring. We have the 
org.eclipse.spaces.osgi plug-in today and it contains the update site 
publisher. I'd like to split this so that we can have:

org.eclipse.spaces.osgi
org.eclipse.spaces.updatesite
org.eclipse.spaces.p2

and later on also:

org.eclipse.spaces.obr

The org.eclipse.spaces.osgi will become abstract in the sense that it 
doesn't really provide any concrete publishing format. It contains 
everything that is common for all types of OSGi publishing.

The primary reason for this refactoring is that I don't want to make 
Spaces dependent on Eclipse 3.4M6 just yet. The P2 bundle will introduce 
such a dependency but it can be kept in a separately installable feature.

Thoughs?
