Change Eclipse default update repository list [message #794583]

Hi,

I am trying to deploy a version of Eclipse and would like control over the default repository list.

I have learned that this is stored in the user's home directory under:

".eclipse\org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_525061626\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine\profileRegistry\epp.package.cpp.profile\.data\.settings\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.prefs"

However, I would rather not deploy this file to a user specific location because there might already be one from another Eclipse installation and there could be more than one user account.

Is there any way that I can avoid the user profile?

I did find an equivelent file under the main Eclipse folder:

"eclipse\p2\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine\profileRegistry\epp.package.cpp.profile\.data\.settings\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.prefs"

but changing this didn't make any difference.

Thanks,
Alan

I did manage to get a solution to this and will share it in case it helps others.

I created a lightweight plugin that loads when Eclipse starts. It then programatically adds the repository:

final ProvisioningUI ui = ProvUIActivator.getDefault().getProvisioningUI();
IArtifactRepositoryManager artifactManager = ProvUI.getArtifactRepositoryManager(ui.getSession());
artifactManager.addRepository(new URI(UPDATE_SITE_URL);

IMetadataRepositoryManager metadataManager = ProvUI.getMetadataRepositoryManager(ui.getSession());
metadataManager.addRepository(new URI(UPDATE_SITE_URL);
