Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2011-01-26 13:41:30 EST 
When we are installing an extension that only provides metadata, then we should not prompt for restart and refresh the projects. This will make for a better user experience.

Modify Restart policy

In the attached patch I created a subclass of the InstallOperation which allows us to set the restart policy for the ProvisioningJobs that are returned by it.  Unfortunately because of bug 336015 I also needed to subclass the PreselectedIUsInstallWizard.

After speaking with Pascal we decided to keep the solution simple and use a tag on items in the catalog to mark that they do not require a restart.  If all items to be installed are of this type then the changes are applied, otherwise the restart policy is Yes/Not Now. (Apply being unavailable)
