[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Re: [p2] use p2.inf to configure bundl

Ok. If that's the case then you have a bit more work. What you'll have to do 
is in the feature craft IUFragments that reference the bundle IUs and do the 
configuring in the IUFragments. See 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Customizing_Metadata#Additional_Installable_Unit_Advice:

To make an IU a fragment declare a "hostRequirement" on the bundle IUs.
What you'll end up with is a p2.inf something like this:

# Add the requirement for the first fragment to the feature
requires.1.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
 requires.1.name = mybundle1.fragment
 requires.1.range = 1.0.0

# Add the requirement for the second fragment to the feature
requires.2.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
requires.2.name = mybundle2.fragment
requires.2.range = 1.0.0

# Create the first fragment
units.1.id = mybundle1.fragment
units.1.version = 1.0.0
units.1.singleton = true
units.1.provides.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.1.provides.0.name = mybundle1.fragment
units.1.provides.0.version = 1.0.0
units.1.instructions.configure = 
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.setStartLevel(startLevel: 
4);org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.markStarted(started: true); 
units.1.hostRequirements.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.1.hostRequirements.0.name = mybundle1
 units.1.hostRequirements.0.range = 1.0.0

# Create the second fragment
units.2.id = mybundle1.fragment
units.2.version = 1.0.0
units.2.singleton = true
units.2.provides.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.2.provides.0.name = mybundle2.fragment
units.2.provides.0.version = 1.0.0
units.2.instructions.configure = 
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.setStartLevel(startLevel: 
4);org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.markStarted(started: true); 
units.2.hostRequirements.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.2.hostRequirements.0.name = mybundle2
units.2.hostRequirements.0.range = 1.0.0

Note: This is just an example as I haven't tried this out. You probably 
would want to publish this feature and verify everything looks correct in 
the IU xml.
