Hi,
I want to install plugins specific to my application into an existing
eclipse set up, such that my plugins are picked up from a seperate bundle
pool and not eclipse/plugins folder.
For this, I have packed my plugins into a feature and also created an
update site. Now, I have run the director application identifying the
metadata & artifact repositories, also specifying -bundlepool argument.
After running the director applcation with a new eclipse profile, bundles
are properly updated to the bundle pool, the new profile is created in
eclipse p2 data area, however my bundle entries are not added to the
bundles.info file. As a result, the bundles are not loaded from the
bundlepool directory when eclipse is started next.
Is this a known bug or am I missing out on something here?
Here is director app command that I am running:
D:/builder/eclipse.exe
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application
-metadataRepository file:C:/UpdateSites/A-Update-Site/site.xml
-artifactRepository file:C:/UpdateSites/A-Update-Site/site.xml
-installIU aFeature.feature.group
-destination D:/eclipse/
-profile CreativeProfile
-bundlepool D:/eclipse/
-vmargs -Declipse.p2.data.area=D:/eclipse/p2
I am not too thrilled about using dropins/link mechanism. Update UI is
more stable and using director application I can acheive the same
behaviour and also have it as part of my installer.
Kindly assist me in acheiving the desired results.
Thanks in anticipation!
Tilak
