    Hi.

    Is there a way to install or get access to the collections like NativeLists without installing the ECS?
    I would like to use these with jobs without installing the entire ECS framework.

    you can manually add this to Packages/manifest.json:
    Code (JavaScript):
    1. "dependencies": {
    2.     "com.unity.collections":"0.0.9-preview.2",
    3.     "com.unity.mathematics":"0.0.12-preview.10"
    4. }
    you need to manually add mathematics because collection depends on it but it's not declared (I submitted a bug report (1057509) for that)

    Great. Then there is a chance they will end up in the package manager also?

    The dependency has been removed and should be fixed in the upcoming release of ECS.

    The reason I ask is that I am making an asset for asset store.

    It will need burst, collections and mathematics. I guess those might get out of preview before ECS does.
    Would be nice with a way for users to get them without any manual edit...

    You can make your plugin check their manifest and add the dependencies if they're not found.

    Yes, but that would require the code to compile, and it would not do that before the packages are installed. Also it seems a bit messy...
