Hi there,

in my application I use p2 for headless installation/update of plugins
at startup. My problem is that I do not want to restart the application
to take the changes effect. How can I achieve this? I thought of an
update of the extensionregistry or something like this but found nothing...

Regards,

Jan

This can be achieved by invoking the applyConfiguration method providedd by the org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.configurator.Configurator service

@Pascal: Which plugin includes org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.configurator.Configurator?

Thanks for the hint.
Trying this I saw no effect and so I debugged and found that the
simpleconfigurator needs a configurationURL and searches
"..configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info".
But this does not exist. What do I have to do?
