Custom offline installer [message #1847369]

Hey everyone,
A few days ago I started to create my first installer for our custom Eclipse IDE.

But I have one big problem with future distribution. Our development PCs are not connected to internet, only to our internal network.

Is there process how to mirror/download whole Eclipse distribution with all its dependencies?
For example: Mirror/download Eclipse for C/C++ 2021-03 and then use it inside the installer?

Thanks in advance
Zdenek

You can use this to create a mirror:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Repository_Mirroring

I have a shell bash like this:

#!/bin/sh

eclipse="/d/sandbox/oomph-master/eclipse/eclipse.exe"

if [[ $# != 2 ]]; then
  echo "mirror-eclipse <source-URL> <targetURL>"
else
 $eclipse -nosplash -verbose \
   -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication \
   -source $1 \
   -destination $2
 $eclipse -nosplash -verbose \
   -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.mirrorApplication \
   -source $1 \
   -destination $2
fi

exit

You can use any Eclipse installation for the application.
