Updates in an Eclipse Product with p2 [message #526482]

Hi I have opened this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=308757

It is caused by the famous:
"Cannot complete the request. This installation has not been configured properly for Software Updates."

Did anybody solve this?

I made a simple plug-in + an encapsulating feature. I generate a product configuration file and I export it as an Eclipse feature based product. But the updates (Help -> Install Software) do not work.

Any idea?

(The updates work if I launch the product from inside Eclipse)

Is this product approach what is called "a headless" Eclipse?

Ian gave me the answer in the bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=308757

So, one has to generate the "metadata repository" (in the export wizard) This way, a p2 directory and a profile are generated in the exported product.

And the p2 updates work.
