Hello,
I have a basic question about p2-repositories.
Is there a way to patch and replaces features?
(we are developing an own RCP)
I read the following blog entry by Andrew Niefer:
http://aniefer.blogspot.com/2009/06/patching-features-with-p 2.html
But it's not what I am looking for. I guess.
I have the following situation:
That's the master feature for the different customers plus the core master feature.
After the creation of a product we install all the IUs of
the masterfeature individually.
.
| -- test.masterfeature.core
| | -- test.feature.core.A
| | -- test.feature.core.B
| ` -- test.feature.core.C
|
| -- test.masterfeature.dummy1
| | -- test.feature.dummy1.A
| | -- test.feature.dummy1.B
| ` -- test.feature.core.C
|
` -- test.masterfeature.dummy2
| -- test.feature.dummy2.A
| -- test.feature.dummy2.B
` -- test.feature.core.C
My p2-Repo is created for customer 'dummy1' with this master feature.
Now we can easily update the features named
test.feature.dummy1.A or B. We only "append" content to this p2-repo. Afterwards the version number increases.
The user may now update this feature via
"Help > Check for Updates"
Now the problem:
We create a feature named test.feature.dummy1.C which
should *replace* test.feature.core.C in the p2-repo of dummy1.
Is this possible? I read the article "Patch Features"
by Andrew Niefer, but...
He creates a feature and a patch afterwards.
He referenced the patch inside the original feature. (like: Hey feature you got patched in feature <id>)
This wouldn't work for me, because the patch should
only be available for the customer 'dummy1'.
As you can see 'dummy2' also includes the feature
test.feature.core.C. So the feature should only be patched
for *one* p2-repo.
The most important thing here is:
The user should use "Help > Check for Updates" to
get this feature.
Is there a way to realize it?
Thanks in advance,
Jens
