Managing profiles in a bundle pool [message #1713095]

We have an Eclipse installer that we are currently working on converting to use a bundle pool. I need to figure out how to manage the bundle pool. I understand that the pool has a profile registry with a number of profiles. One of these profiles is then referenced by the actual Eclipse installation.

1. How do I remove a profile? Is it ok to just delete the [pool]/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/*.profile folder?

2. Once a profile is removed, how to I tell p2 to remove the bundles that aren't referenced by any of the remaining profiles?

Hi

Oomph provides a nice UI to manage bundle pools, including showing which
bundles are not used anymore so that you can physically remove them.

I am interested in pointers to API, especially of Ant or Command Line variety as opposed to end-user tools like Oomph.

You may want to ask in the Oomph forum; I think their APIs can be reused
to some extent.
