Dropins in rcp not working [message #467935]

I have an rcp application and want to
update using the dropins folder as P2 is just far to complicated.
 
 However I create a dropins folder at
the same level as the p2/plugins/features folder.
 
 Inside the dropins folder I create a
plugins and features folder and I put the feature and all its referenced
plugins into their respective folders.
 
 I start the application and as far as
i can tell the dropins folder is completely ignored. The new feature and
plugin files do not get installed and physically they are not even copied
from dropins to the plugins folder. There are no errors in the log file.
 
 How can I make dropins work in an rcp
application.
 
 I have org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins,1.0.100.v20090520- 1905,plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins_1.0.1 00.v20090520-1905.jar,4,true
in the bundles.info file and it is included in the rcp application.

While I had many problems with dropins absent or not working in 3.4.1,
everything works in 3.5 without any tweaks. At the end of our build, the
dropins folder is present and working, no tweaks to bundles.info required.

I create my export using the link from
the product file which opens the export wizard. It does not create a dropins
folder. Just configuration, plugin, feature, p2 and repository. Do you
actually get a dropins folder when you create the export. If so how.
 
 Do I have to tell it I want a dropins
folder, the stuff I have read sort of says it monitors this one automatically.
 
 Is there some p2.inf entry or something
I need.
 
 Thanks as this is driving me round the
bend.

Sorry, I do all my builds headlessly with PDE, so do not use Export.

I do headless builds as well, but didn't get a "dropins" folder to appear
until I created a p2.inf file in the same directory as the .product file:

instructions.install = mkdir(path:${installFolder}/dropins);

This is a multipart message in MIME format.

Thanks, that creates the dropins folder. Problm is it still takes no
notice of it.

I re-built my install to inslude the dropins folder. Installed the rcp and
it comes up as 2.2.0.

I update a plugin and the feature that contains it to 2.,2.1 and
re-export.

from the repository I copy the feature jar and the plugin jar (2..2.1)
into the dropins folder and restart the rcp.

Nothing, the folder is ignored and the app does not contain either the new
feature or the new plugin.

Has anyone out there ever got an rcp to pick up on the dropins folder, am
I missing some required plugins or something.

I create the folder via p2.inf:
instructions.configure=\
mkdir(path:${installFolder}/dropins);

Then, I make sure org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins is in the
Configurations, Plugins, tab of the Product, with default start level and
Autostart=true.
