Embedd P2 metadata into the resulting artifact
Maven has the concept of embedding the pom in META-INF/maven/groupId/artifactId/pom.(xml/properties) this has the advantage, that one is able to recover the POM information from the archive without the need to contact a server and/or do any computations.
It would be useful to have something similar for p2 e.g.META-INF/p2/p2artifacts.xml and p2content.xml because not always all information can be recovered from the artifact or they are expensive to calculate.
