Re: [tycho-user] Discovery URL from feature.xml not reflected in content

Here's what the content.xml of "Export/Deployable features" looks like:

  <repository name='Exported Repository'
type='org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.metadata.repository.LocalMetadataRepository'
version='1.0.0'>
    <properties size='2'>
      <property name='p2.timestamp' value='1373557114559'/>
      <property name='p2.compressed' value='true'/>
    </properties>
    <references size='2'>
      <repository uri='http://example.org' url='http://example.org'
type='1' options='0'/>
      <repository uri='http://example.org' url='http://example.org'
type='0' options='0'/>
    </references>
  ...

So it's in the headers of the repository, I guess.

Well, what I don't get is why something that was part of the unit (being
declared in the unit's feature.xml [1]) got moved to the
repository-header level.

Is there any chance that this will be supported in future versions of
Tycho or do I fundamentally misunderstand what eclipse-repository does?

Anyway, thanks for your help so far.

Andreas
