Hi

I use a buckminster headless "import" command (pointing to a mspec) in
order to populate my target platform.

Now I want to add a prebuild 3rd party feature to my target platform.

How do I do that?


I tried several approaches whitout success:

1. add the 3rd party feature to the rmap that will be used by the mspec
while the "import" is taking place. But I couldn't figure out, how to
add a provider to the rmap for a prebuild 3rd party feature

2. I try to add a second "import" command, but you can only reference to
mspec files. But how to make a mspec if I only have the prebuild
feature in a zip file? - Without p2 update site?

Any ideas?

Kind regards, Alain.

Hi Alain,
Your feature holds references to other features and/or plugins. Where do they reside in relation to the feature? Are
they available on an update site (legacy or p2) ?

Hi Thomas

Thanks for your answer.
No, they are not available on a update site.
They just resides on my harddisk as a folder with the following structure:

albireo/features
albireo/plugins

Regards, Alain.

The simplest fix for that is then probably to add a site.xml file so that you get a legacy style update site, i.e.

albireo/site.xml
albireo/features
albireo/plugins

and then use the 'p2' reader type (or 'eclipse.import' in 3.5) in conjunction with URL using the file protocol.

HTH,

Hi Thomas

It worked on my local machine whitout any problems. I think the site.xml
is even not needen.

But on the build server I get the following error (havin the site.xml in
the folder):

ERROR [0002] : Unable to resolve Installable Unit
org.eclipse.albireo.core 0.0.3.v20081031 in repository
file:///D:/test/test/data/albireo
ERROR: Unable to resolve Installable Unit org.eclipse.albireo.core

Contains: [0002] : Unable to resolve Installable Unit
org.eclipse.albireo.core 0.0.3.v20081031 in repository
file:///D:/test/test/data/albireo


The file really exists, because if I remove the file, then another error
message will be displayed.

The rmap looks like this:

<searchPath name="albireo">
<provider readerType="eclipse.import"
componentTypes="osgi.bundle,eclipse.feature" mutable="false" source="false">
<uri format="file:///D:/test/test/data/albireo"/>
</provider>
</searchPath>

And the site.xml looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site>
<feature url="features/org.eclipse.albireo_0.0.3.v20081031.jar"
id="org.eclipse.albireo" version="0.0.3.v20081031">
<category name="albireo"/>
</feature>
<feature url="features/org.eclipse.albireo.sdk_0.0.3.v20081031.jar"
id="org.eclipse.albireo.sdk" version="0.0.3.v20081031">
<category name="albireo"/>
</feature>
<feature
url="features/org.eclipse.albireo.source_0.0.3.v20081031.jar "
id="org.eclipse.albireo.source" version="0.0.3.v20081031">
<category name="albireo"/>
</feature>
<category-def name="albireo" label="albireo">
<description>
albireo
</description>
</category-def>
</site>

Any idea about this?

Thanks a lot for your help, Alain.
