P2 Metadata generator broken? [message #112661]

Dear All,

I have been following the notes on generating P2 metadata for an existing
update site:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Metadata_Generator

The site in question is distributed in readonly file space. I therefore
wanted to generate the repository metadata in a separate, writable
location. This failed with multiple errors: java.io.IOException: The media
is write protected.

So I copied the update site to a writable location next to where I wanted
the metadata generated and reran the tool. This time is succeeded,
although the metadata (artifacts.jar and content.jar) had been added to
the update site directory, *not* to the specified repository directory. I
used the following args:

eclipse.exe -application
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.generator.EclipseGenerator
-updateSite C:/tmp/eclipse/site/
-site file:C:/tmp/eclipse/site/site.xml
-metadataRepository file:C:/tmp/eclipse/repos/
-metadataRepositoryName "Site Metadata"
-artifactRepository file:C:/tmp/eclipse/repos/
-artifactRepositoryName "Site Artifacts"
-compress
-reusePack200Files
-noDefaultIUs
-vmargs -Xmx256m"

To reiterate, the op completed successfully but C:/tmp/eclipse/repos/ was
empty. C:/tmp/eclipse/site/ contained both of the metadata jars. Is this a
bug? Please advise.

Hi All,
