Buckminster works best when it can use p2 repositories as input, second best with Maven repositories. Are the bundles in
question available on an update site somewhere or at maven central?
If not, then perhaps you should create a p2 repository of your own. It should be fairly simple.
1. Create a PDE target platform.
2. Appoint it to the folder where you have the bundles. It should be able to automatically find them and add them to
your target platform.
3. Add a feature project where you include the bundles.
4. Execute the site.p2 action in Buckminster. Now you have a p2 repository.

hi,
thx for the answer. that's more or less what i've done so far. i created a 'mini'-rcp-target and three different feature projects because i want their bundles to be categorized later and exported these feature projects using eclipse export functionality. i then made this repositories available over a webServer.
on my hudson i created a job that imports these features/bundels and then creates my final p2 repository which afterwards contains all the features/plugins.
well, allthough this works, it's very uncomfortable. every time i would like to, e.g. add a new bundle i have to change the rcp-target in my eclipse, add the bundle to the feature were it should go into, export that feature as p2 repository, make it available over the webServer, run the hudsonJob to create the final p2 repository and make it available over the webServer, too. that's a lot to do in order to just add one bundle.
therefore my question if there is a simpler way of getting buckminster adding bundles. but if i got you right, what i want to achieve is not possible, is it?

It might be possible to use the 'url' reader type with a matcher to scrape web pages where the bundles are published but
such a solution would probably require a lot of maintenance and it's not something that I'd recommend.
I'm surprised you don't find the bundles in question in a maven repository somewhere. That's usually the case. Did you
check for instance:
http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/release
http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/external
or the Maven Central
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/

so far i was looking for a general solution because i also have a dozend or so of bundels i created by my own and which are also part of the bundle pool(s) i'm talking about.
