[tycho-dev] Does the artifacts.xml in the application represents all the artifacts used in that application

[Kasun Siyambalapitiya]

Hi all,

Does the *artifacts.xml* file located with the *plugins, features
*and* p2 *directories
in an application contain all the artifacts used in the application. I can
see that it contain all the jars in the *plugins *directory and all the
features in the *features *directory, Is there a possibility that jars and
features can exists ( that is being used or not used by the application)
without having them inside the *artifact.xml *as entries.


Thank you

I think it's safe to say that the artifacts.xml lists the IUs that were installed in the application via p2. The application may only actually use a subset of those IUs. IUs can also be installed by other means than p2 (e.g., explicitly installing a bundle from a URL, dropins), which will not show up in the artifacts.xml.
