Method Detail

createStrictInclusionRule

public static java.lang.String createStrictInclusionRule(IInstallableUnit iu)

Returns an inclusion rule to strictly install the given installable unit. Strictly installed installable units will never be uninstalled in order to satisfy a later profile change request. That is, when there is a dependency conflict between a strictly installed unit and a non-strict unit, the strictly installed installable unit will take precedence.

Parameters:

iu - the installable unit to be installed.

Returns:

an opaque token to be passed to the IProfileChangeRequest.setInstallableUnitInclusionRules(IInstallableUnit, String)

createOptionalInclusionRule

public static java.lang.String createOptionalInclusionRule(IInstallableUnit iu)

Returns an inclusion rule to optionally install the given installable unit. An optionally installed installable unit will automatically be removed from the profile if any of its dependencies become unsatisfied.

Parameters:

iu - the installable unit to be installed.

Returns:

an opaque token to be passed to the IProfileChangeRequest.setInstallableUnitInclusionRules(IInstallableUnit, String)
