List of P2 Update Sites and Repos [message #114269] Wed, 16 July 2008 16:27 Go to next message

Originally posted by: jconlon.apache.org

Just migrated to Ganymede and P2. My RCP product development efforts
require a diverse set of plugins from various Eclipse based projects and
third parties.

Prior to working more exclusively with the Eclipse and Equinox
eco-system I did a fair amount of work with Ivy, Maven and the Felix
OSGi runtimes, so I am familiar with development (ivy and m2) and OSGi
runtime (OBR) repositories and the associated public repos.

Of course the Eclipse product that I downloaded as a zip, already had
several update sites preloaded, to which after a long search I found and
added a few others myself. Would prefer to use the P2 UI to manage all
my bundles (and not the dropins), but there are several bundles that I
use that I have no idea where to find sites for.

Is there a comprehensive list of P2 enabled Eclipse, Equinox, and third
party update sites?

Particularly are there public sites that contains:

1. Equinox OSGi bundles compatible with 3.4.?
2. Third party wrapped bundles? (like org.slf4j for example)

thanks for any help,
John

No. However p2 can still install from old style update sites, though the
experience is a little bit degraded than when you connect to a complete p2
repository.

This site contains all the OSGi bundles. When you browse it using the
IDE integration of p2 you will only see the feature but there is p2
metadata for all the bundles
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4

No.
However I have heard about ppl wirting an adaptor to load OBR
repositories in p2. Teh same could be done with Maven.
I have also opened a bug to create p2 repository for the Orbit
rpeository https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=241427

I see a Equinox Bundles feature. Does this include all of the OSGi
bundles? I only need a couple of the services (event and io) but not
all of them.

I am sure it has been asked before, but will future versions allow me to
select just the bundles (and their deps) that I need.
