Hi all,
I am trying to use the p2 Admin UI in Helios to construct a custom
Eclipse distribution (that I will use as target platform later).
I noticed with Helios [1], in the 'Provisioning' perspective, that I am
no longer able to generate an executable eclipse installation folder
from a new profile. Is it a known problem that the p2 Admin UI in Helios
is broken? Setup details under [2].
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Patrick
[1] after installation of the 'Equinox Target Components'
[2] I proceeded like that:
- I created a new profile (with the same location for 'Install folder'
and 'Bundle pool location', under environment I added the variable
eclipse.update.install.features=true to get a 'features' folder)
- Drag and dropped a few features from the 'Metadata Repositories' view
(e.g. in my case org.eclipse.rcp.feature.group and
org.eclipse.sdk.feature.group)
- Went through the installation steps
- I had to restart eclipse at the end (what I found super weird, since I
did not want to modify the configuration of the running eclipse instance)
- The specified installation folder was empty, except for an
'artifact.xml' file. No 'features' or 'plugins' folder, no eclipse.exe.
The exact same steps with Eclipse 3.5.2 would produce the expected result.
