[Sean Flanigan (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2246?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12439598#action_12439598 ] 

Sean Flanigan commented on JBIDE-2246:
--------------------------------------

Bad news: adding P2 metadata currently breaks categories, at least when using the methods above:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=240254

Considering how slow P2 is without its metadata, I would suggest damning the torpedoes, adding the metadata, and doing without the categories until they fix it.

> Is P2 stable/good enough for basing our updatesites on ? 
> Can we use it to have a more finegrained control in the installer (eg. only install some parts?)
> Can it be used to install other things than plugins ? (e.g. JBossAS ?)
