Update (not install) Eclipse SDK with p2 director [message #798163] Tue, 14 February 2012 10:30 Go to next message

I'm updating my Eclipse quite often. So far I used p2 agent with couple of defined repositories and profiles. This worked fine but I decided to switch to using scripts. Here is what I put up for installing the SDK (a snippet):

./eclipse/equinox-p2-adminui-3.7.1-linux-gtk-x86/eclipse/eclipse -consolelog -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -metadataRepository http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.8-I-builds -artifactRepository http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.8-I-builds -installIU org.eclipse.sdk.ide -destination ~/eclipse/ibuild38/ -bundlepool ~/eclipse/bp


This works like a charm when installing the IU, but when run for the second time (with intent to update the existing installation) it fails. Changing the destination helps but it's not what I need.

I'm missing a magic switch, right?

Cheers,
T

It would help if you posted the failure too! Smile

But I think you have two problems:

1. You likely need to specify the p2 profile: "-profile SDKProfile"
2. You need to instruct p2 to record the installed features: "-profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true"

Thanks for the quick reply Brian.

I applied both suggestions, I think it worked once, but ever since I try to update the SDK I get this:

The "toolingorg" part looks weird, doesn't it?

The p2 director doesn't do updates -- p2 is trying to install the update alongside the existing version and complaining. You need to add a "-uninstallIU org.eclipse.sdk.ide".

Brian's correct, currently an update is done by -installIU org.eclipse.sdk.ide -uninstallIU org.eclipse.sdk.ide.

But there's a catch. If there is nothing to update, the director trashes your install. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=368238

The p2agent (aka Admin UI) seems to be handling this case fine, it says something like Quote:
Your request has been modified. X is already installed, so an update will be performed.
and then does so. I was looking for the same thing when running the p2director.

Does any new p2director version support updating?

I really wish that was just a different command line switch you could use.
