Description Mikaël Barbero

2016-08-26 08:40:47 EDT

After bug 500316 comment #4, p2 repository explorer (see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#How_to_find_a_P2_repository_at_Eclipse_using_the_Repository_Explorer and code http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/plugins/org.eclipse.oomph.p2.ui/src/org/eclipse/oomph/p2/internal/ui/RepositoryExplorer.java) would be a good fit for integration into PDE. I don't know the exact dependencies of it, but seems like it could be moved quite easily.

+1 if that comes without additional dependencies. Alternative solution might be p2-browser (https://github.com/ifedorenko/p2-browser) 

Mikaël, is it OK to assign the bug to you?

Not currently, sorry.

p2 is often used without PDE being installed. I don't see why any PDE-unspecific kind of p2 add-on should exist in PDE, but that's not my construction place. We certainly won't move Oomph's Repository Explorer to PDE, so I suggest to close this bug as wontfix.

Would you be interested in contributing it to p2?

It depends on oomph.base, oomph.base.edit, oomph.p2, oomph.p2.core, oomph.p2.edit, oomph.ui, and oomph.util. It makes no sense to move oomph.base, oomph.base.edit, oomph.ui, and oomph.util outside of the Oomph project.

What is to be gained by moving it?

+1.
