p2/pde testing p2 software update in rcp application using IDE (not running deployed build) [message #114322]

I wish to use the p2 software update in my RCP application, and I would
like to test the "client" side of it in the IDE (I don't want to run the
headless build and run the application).

Is it possible to have the PDE mechanism create the necessary p2 profile
for this to happen.

Currently when I run the Help -> Software update, it gives me the dialog
that it cannot be run because
ProvisioningUtil.getProfile(IProfileRegistry.SELF) does not find the
profile (because it's not there).

Thanks,

Francis

This bug addresses this issue:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=224658

Apparently having a real profile created is not part of the 3.4
functionality.

In the CVS repo there is a plug-in called org.eclipse.equinox.p2.selfhosting
which was an attempt at doing what you are suggesting but it has not been
used in months (not sure it compiles). the idea is with that installed in
your dev environement a proper p2 profile would get generated on startup of
the launch configuration.

We are hoping to revive this in 3.5, but it is unclear if this will happen
with the workload we have.

Thanks, I would love to help, but I have my hands full with the CNF that
I have not yet devoted sufficient time to. But thanks for the pointer.
