Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2009-01-06 21:35:03 EST 
In bug 260066 we talk about the need to discover filters for IUs on which we will depend but for which we have incomplete information immediately at hand.  For example when publishing a plugin based product you don't know which bundles apply to which configurations.

Proposal: Add a IFilterAdvice that, given an IU and version (optionally) will return the platform filter (if any) to use.  Using this we can implement any number of advisors.  for example, one that looked in the result, in any known repos, ... to see if we already know the desired IU and then extract the filter and return it.

In the end I think this one can be closed as the solution is really incorporated in bug 260066
