Query Bundles.info for installed plugin and version [message #629564] Tue, 28 September 2010 13:07 Go to next message

Originally posted by: MrBob.bob.bob

I'm looking for a simple way using P2 to query whether or not a plugin
is installed, AND if so, what its version is.

The code, will start with only a path to the bundles.info (this is the
one piece of information I have).

Is there a P2 util class to do this? Or can someone point me to some
starter code, or a class to use that will lead me to the right solution.


I suppose, the other option, is to write a little bit of custom java
code to open the file, and directly inspect for the information.
However.. I'd like to use existing API if possible.

There are predefined queries as well as a comprehensive query API
available in p2.

Thanks for reply.

Any java package I should specifically start my look at? Is there a wiki
that maybe shows an example of how I might do a query?

Sorry for the short answer earlier, I was on a handheld device and did
not have the URL's handly.

The query langugage is called "p2QL", and you can read about it here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Query_Language_for_p2

And here is a link to help for the query package:
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/ntopic/org.eclipse.platform.d oc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/equinox/p2/query/package-us e.html

And here is a link to help for some predefined queries in QueryUtil:
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/ntopic/org.eclipse.platform.d oc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/equinox/p2/query/QueryUtil. html

I hope that helps as starting points.
