Class Policy


  • public class Policy
    extends Object
    The Policy class is used to specify application specific policies that should be used in the standard p2 UI class libraries. The default policy is acquired using the OSGi service model. Policy allows clients to specify things such as how repositories are manipulated in the standard wizards and dialogs, and how the repositories or the installation itself should be traversed when displaying content. In some cases, the Policy is used only to define a default value that can be overridden by user choice and subsequently stored in dialog settings. Client applications should ensure that their Policy is registered before any of the p2 UI objects access the default Policy.
