location id should not be unique

[phermsdorf]

Hi,

with #17 it was possible to add an id to a repository eg. for maven authentication via. settings.xml username/password combinations.
But the repo id was added as ((ID=ID)? which to my understanding fordes it be a unique identifier.

This turns out to be a problem, because we have a nexus repo server which hosts several diferent repositories, but with the same authentication credentials.

So writing something like this in the target file is basically perfectly fine and works:

    <location includeMode="slicer" includeAllPlatforms="false" includeSource="true" includeConfigurePhase="false" type="InstallableUnit">
      <unit id="com.myfeature1.feature.group" version="4.20.1"/>
      <repository id="myrepo-id" location="http://repo.intern/p2/repo1"/>
    </location>
    <location includeMode="slicer" includeAllPlatforms="false" includeSource="true" includeConfigurePhase="false" type="InstallableUnit">
      <unit id="org.feature2.feature.group" version="1.2.3"/>
      <repository id="myrepo-id" location="http://repo.intern/p2/repo2"/>
    </location>

But it's not possible to generate that from a .tpd file, because the editor claims the myrepo-id to be unique.

I could try to propose a pull request, if someone is willing to look at it.
Thank you.

We now moved to the newest Eclipse and Tycho which supports version ranges of artifacts directly in the target file. So this issue is no longer important for us.

Feel free to close or keep open for reference....

I don't think I saw this issue come by until you most recent comment; it could be too much mail coming all the time...
