Description Thomas Hallgren CLA 2009-10-01 16:14:53 EDT 
Buckminster make extensive use of the p2 API. Our SCM can be accesses using SVN at:

http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/tools/org.eclipse.buckminster/trunk

The components that make most use of p2 are:

org.eclipse.buckminster.aggregator
org.eclipse.buckminster.aggregator.engine
org.eclipse.buckminster.core
org.eclipse.buckminster.pde

They can be accessed by their bundle name directly beneath trunk.

We expect to put a lot of efforts in ourselves following what we expect to be extensive changes from the current code base. We don't mind the impact it will have on our code. It's all for the better.
Comment 1 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2009-10-21 12:58:32 EDT 
p2 is going to work in a branch for a while. If you want to create a branch of these projects so we can provide you patches easily please do so asap.
Comment 2 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2009-10-21 13:00:55 EDT 
The branch tag name we used in is "R_3_6_api_cleanup"
Comment 3 Thomas Hallgren CLA 2009-10-21 17:01:15 EDT 
Never mind. I'll take care of that when everything has been refactored.
Comment 4 John Arthorne CLA 2010-06-29 15:54:11 EDT 
Now that p2 API work has concluded this bug isn't needed.
