| Eclipse's p2 technology supports the concept of a <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Getting_Started#Bundle_pooling">bundle pool</a>. |
| Bundle pools help to dramatically reduce disk footprint |
| and to eliminate repeated downloads of the same bundles and features, |
| thereby dramatically improving the performance of software updates and target platform provisioning. |
| Oomph makes heavy use of this technology for both its <a href="DocTask.html#DocP2Task" title="Chapter in Oomph Setup Documentation">p2</a> tasks and it <a href="DocTask.html#DocTargletTask" title="Chapter in Oomph Setup Documentation">targlet</a> tasks. |
| Further, |
| Oomph provides a technology layer on top of p2 |
| to improve the behavior and performance of caching |
| allowing Oomph to provide offline support for installing and updating installations and target platforms. |
