Description Volker Wegert CLA 2011-04-24 12:27:52 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20110301-1815

If something goes wrong when checking the certificates (org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.CertificateChecker), virtually no information is available about the cause of the problem. In my case, it took me forever to find out why the p2.director of a headless build was unable to install bundles. 

Proposal: Add another trace switch (similar to org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/generator/parsing, ...) and log all unsigned and untrusted objects in CertificateChecker.checkCertificates() before returning the status if that trace option is set. 

Reproducible: Always

Hi, I'm sorry to only get to this now. It felt through the cracks. Would you be able to provide an updated version of the patch since it does not seem to apply anymore. Thx in advance.
