Adding certificates to keystore during setup [message #1729386]

Hi,

I am wondering whether the following use case can currently be supported by Oomph:

I have an update site that is accessible only via HTTPS which uses a self-signed certificate. Can I create an Oomph profile that downloads the self-signed certificate, installs it in the user's keystore and then configures the user's Eclipse to use that keystore (along the lines of this)? Ideally, the remainder of the setup would already be able to install plugins from the "self-signed" update site.

Any hints are greatly appreciated.

Andreas

That should be possible with the ResourceCopyTask.

I never had to do that, but I suspect that would require you to provide a custom setup task.

That should be possible with an EclipseIniTask. But I'm not sure that would help because the P2Task performs in the
installer, not the user's Eclipse. Setup tasks can not change the installer itself.

That's all I can say so far. I'm interested to hear how it goes...
