Equinox p2 : check the certificate [message #540594]

Hi everybody,

I've created an OSGi platform with equinox. I'm able to install some plugin via the equinox p2 User Interface. So, it means that I can use "Help-> Install new software" as in Eclipse.

I wonder if it's possible to authorize only few plugins to be installed. I'd like to autorize the installation of the plugin signed by my own certificate.

Is it possible to do that?

Many thanks,

Bat

There is an abstract class org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.UIServices, this is
used by p2 when checking certificates. UI surfaces this as a prompt to the
user, but headless situations can do other things.

I don't know alot of the details here, but you can look at implementing your
own UIService, and registering it with the IProvisioningAgent. Your
implementation could then trust your own certificates.

Thanks for you answer.

Another thing, could you confirm me that it's possible to install a non-signed-Bundle without the equinox p2 User interface. I mean, only by modifying the directeroy of the RCP application and some files.

It is correct?

Thanks
