Hello,

I'd like to use bundle pooling to share the same set of bundles but being able to launch different applications from that unique bundle pool.
It seems that P2 profiles are the way to go but I am struggling to find informations on this.
Can anybody give me a hint?
How to create a bundle pool with all my features? and how to create profiles with all the different product definitions I have?

Thanks.

Launching is different from p2 (although they're linked).
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started#Bundle_po oling is a
starting point.

Notice that you need one directory/configuration area per application
that you want to launch. Then p2 can provide the common bundle pool area.

You might try options on the director to specify a different bundle pool
location when creating your applications:

Thank you for your answer,
but the bundle pooling information is very thin, I could not find any more information than the one in the getting started.
How to create a configuration directories and files accoding to my products in one single bundle pool?

I am experimenting the publisher application. and will look at the editor.
Thank for helping.
