[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Re: p2 detecting newly installed bundl

["Francis Upton (News)" <francisu@xxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Chris.

I tried adding a BundleListener and the no events for the bundle that I 
installed showed up (I put a println in the listener to see what it 
saw).  I should have mentioned that before.  I assume that it does not 
matter which BundleContext you register the BundleListener for.  The 
specification is not clear on this point, but I saw many events for 
unrelated bundles.

Any other ideas?
