The eclipse.security is only used by the org.eclipse.equinox.launcher jar. The eclipse.security option is used by the launcher bootstrap code to indicate that it should setup a policy which grants itself and the framework ALLPermissions. Then it sets the java.security.manager to the value of ecli

Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Download manager support for pack200

The support for pack200 is in a separate bundle which is not mandatory to the proper functioning of p2. Therefore even if the download manager was trying to get a pack200 version of a given artifact (by checking in the table of content of available artifacts,no round-trip to the server), it would n

The only support I know is in MirrorRequest#perform, but it is quite rudimentary. Essentially if the repository is local, it prefers a descriptor in canonical form (not packed/zipped), and if the repository is remote it prefers a descriptor in non-canonical form. It doesn't have any further sma

Just to clarify, the JRE level doesn't matter here. Unpack is performed by a standalone unpack200 executable that doesn't require presence of a JVM. You can run with a Foundation class library, plus a standalone unpack200 executable from Java 5 or Java 6. Jim Colson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent

2008-01-24 Thread Jeff McAffer
right but there is the practical detail that the exe you need comes with Java 5 or later and the licensing does not likely allow you to ship just the unpack200 exe. But that is a matter for someone's legal team. As John says, the unpack support simply cares whether or not the exe is there.

Just out of curiosity, why do you use the external binary to do the pack/unpack and not the java.util.jar.Pack200 class? It seems to me that a fragment that is EE dependent (require Java 1.5 or higher) would be ideal here. Those who run lower then Java 5 simply would not have pack200 which is k
