Hello all together,
I'm trying now for some days to upgrade the update site of our company to
Ganymed, and I'm not really happy with what I have reached up to now.
Currently, I have the following problems:
* All provides features are listed in Ganymed as "Uncategorized". Because
we provide categories for our features, I'm not at all happy with that.
Even worse, because we bundle plugins of others with our configuration,
additional help ... I would like to only see our entries.
* When I follow the road to generate metadata for the update site (see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Metadata_Generator), I see all
categories, but no features any more.
This is what I have done:
1. I have created a new update site to ensure that nothing of the old site
is there.
2. I have created the 4 categories we want to structure the features.
3. I have added the features to the categories they belong to.
4. I have created all features without any warning. I can find them in
<update-site>/features and <update-site>/plugins.
5. I have created a new directory, installed there a fresh eclipse,
created a new workspace and opened the "Software Updates..." dialog.
6. I have added there the site to the local directory (<update-site>).
Then the problems are visible as described up.
Does anyone has a clue what I am missing here?
I have appended the created update site file site.xml to that email, just
that you can see that there is no magic at all.
Bye
Markus

1. Create all plugins and features by using "Build all" in PDE.
2. Create a new update site (on my local filesystem) that is a copy of the
old one.
3. Copied the created features and plugins into that new update site.
4. Copied the generated site.xml file (but only that one) to the new
created update site
In my opinion, this is less than optimal. I would like to use PDE in a P2
sense, which means that I get the additional meta information that P2
needs to speed up the appearance to the customer.
By the way, is it possible that even if you have an update site in your
intranet (which is available without a proxy), that you need to have set a
proxy so that other update site (or even feature and plugin information)
could be read from the internet?
When doing a test with the new created update site, the update manager
hang and I had to kill Eclipse and restart it, set the proxy in a proper
way. Only then it worked as expected.
