[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Re: p2 director application: Installin

["Pascal Rapicault" <pascal_rapicault@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you are running the director from the application you are provisioning, 
then this is expected because the GC will not be able to GC the plugin since 
they are still installed in OSGi.
Conversely if the director you are running and the application you are 
provisioning are not from the install then the plug-ins should be GCed
Why do you want the plug-ins to be gone? They should not bother you since 
proper unisntallation will cause them to be removed from the bundles.info.
