p2 director application: Installing and uninstalling feature [message #114296]

Hi,

i'm using p2 director application to install and uninstall some features
in my build environment for automatic testing.

p2 director application states that installing and uninstalling is
completed. But after uninstalling the feature and the corresponding
plugins can still be found in the feature and plugins directory. Is this
behaviour intended?

I would like to really delete these artifacts from disk.

Is the -uninstallIU argument undocumented by intention?

Kind Regards, Erwin

If you are running the director from the application you are provisioning,
then this is expected because the GC will not be able to GC the plugin since
they are still installed in OSGi.
Conversely if the director you are running and the application you are
provisioning are not from the install then the plug-ins should be GCed
Why do you want the plug-ins to be gone? They should not bother you since
proper unisntallation will cause them to be removed from the bundles.info.

Hi,

thanks for the answer.

I was trying to setup automated testing. For the installtion of the
necessary features I used the director of the SDK intended to execute the
tests.
After every build I got the following error:

[exec] Installing org.eclipse.mat.feature.feature.group

So I will try to use the director of the build SDK for installation...

Kind regards, Erwin

Hi,

I tried to use p2 director application to install some features into an
existing target product. I used the following command line but the
installtion was done in the builder installation and not the specified
target product (specified with argument -destination). Anybody an idea
what went wrong?
Is there a possibility to get more verbose output from the p2 director app?

Command line:
C:\Development\eclipse\eclipse3.4\eclipse.exe -application
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application -metadataRepository
file:c:/tmp/build/mat/metadata/org.eclipse.mat.feature -artifactRepository
file:c:/tmp/build/mat/results/org.eclipse.mat.feature -installIU
org.eclipse.mat.feature.feature.group -destination c:/tmp/eclipse3.4/
-profile SDKProfile -consolelog -vmArgs
-Declipse.p2.data.area=c:/tmp/eclipse3.4/p2

Kind Regards, Erwin
