Hi,

I have to generate several products and I want to know if it possible to create an update site and that from them I can generate the products. If yes, how do I do?

Sorry for my English

Ok, I generate an update site and a product. But the feature containing my product file has a site.p2 directory after the compilation, why ? How I can not have this directory ?

The way we do it is by having features for different kinds of build:

product feature - includes product feature and special p2 feature. p2 feature just has dependency on features that are needed to run the product (emf, gmf, etc) and does not include them in the feature.

build feature - includes features that needed to run the product (emf, gmf, etc) and also product feature.

update site feature - includes product feature.

When product is build it is build off build feature so product feature and p2 feature are build.

When update site is build it is build off update site feature, so the result is only our product's features and specialized p2 feature that describes what update site depends on.

HTH,
Alex

Ok, if I have four products similar I must have :

product feature = 4 product features + 1 special p2 feature
build feature = 4 features (each feature containg 1 product feature + 1 special p2 feature)
update site feature = 1 feature including 4 product features + 1 special p2 feature

That's ok ?

Why wouldn't you want to keep everything separate?
