Hi,

I'm trying to use p2 director to have a multi-platform product after a PDE build.
I'm using this called for each configuration:

<java classname="org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main"  maxmemory="2048m" fork="true" failonerror="true">
  <classpath>
    <path id="launcher.path.id">
	<fileset dir="${eclipse.base.platform}/plugins" includes="org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar"/>
	</path>
  </classpath>
	<arg value="-application" />
	<arg value="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director" />
	<arg value="-repository"/>
	<arg value="${buildDirectory}/buildRepo"/>
	<arg value="-bundlepool" />
	<arg value="${baseLocation}/bundlepool" />
	<arg value="-shared" />
	<arg value="${baseLocation}/bundlepool/p2" />
	<arg value="-installIU" />
	<arg value="org.bonitasoft.studio.product" />
	<arg value="-destination" />
	<arg value="${baseLocation}/bundlepool/${conf}" />
	<arg value="-profile" />
	<arg value="BonitaStudio_${conf}" />
	<arg value="-consoleLog" />
	<jvmarg line="-Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=pdeBuild.hprof"/>
</java>

And here is the error:

[java] !ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2011-10-10 19:00:51.100

ok, I should have look into the code a little bit...
An URI to be absolute must have the scheme. SO i need to put file:// before the path. Not tried yet but it seems to be the issue.

Hey,

We are trying to accomplish a CI build on jenkins using Buckminster plugin. We are running into a problem which says p2 materialization failed in mspec, location must be absolute.
I think the rmap file is fine, the build continues even after it shows the materialization has failed error but it would fail later when its trying to run the pde export of our projects to a output destination.
The following is the stack trace
INFO: import 'com.crimsoninformatics.telematics.releng/telematics-jenkins.mspec'
INFO: Added Git repository at /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/testBuild/git/.git to the set of known repositories

The code is calling this method:

	private URI checkValidLocation(URI location) {
		if (location == null)
			throw new IllegalArgumentException("Location cannot be null"); //$NON-NLS-1$
		if (!location.isAbsolute())
			throw new IllegalArgumentException("Location must be absolute: " + location); //$NON-NLS-1$
		return location;
	}

and so is checking

    public boolean isAbsolute() {
        return scheme != null;
    }

which of course is false, because your URI doesn't have a scheme. Wherever /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/testBuild/git is specified, it should use file:/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/testBuild/git/ instead.
