How to programmatically import update sites in my IDE? [message #528125] Mon, 19 April 2010 12:51

We have a need of programmtically import update sites into developers' IDEs.

We looked into the following link that can programmtically import Eclipse
IDE Preferences, but this approach doesn't cover the importing of the update
sites.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21273017

We found another approach which seems not be reliable (please see below).

Please advise if there's a way so that we can programmtically import update
sites into an IDE instance. Thank you.


--------------
Modify the following two files,

C:\eclipse3.5\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine\profileRegist ry\SDKProfile.profile\.data\.settings\org.eclipse.equinox.p2 .metadata.repository.prefs

C:\eclipse3.5\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine\profileRegist ry\SDKProfile.profile\.data\.settings\org.eclipse.equinox.p2 .artifact.repository.prefs

Adding the following lines would make a new update site available the next
time an Eclipse instance is started.
