p2 updater questions [message #131212] Wed, 13 May 2009 12:09 Go to next message

Hi All,

I have several questions regarding the "Help -> Check for Updates" and
"Help -> Install New Software" options:

1. Features on my update site are not visible in "Available Software" dialog
unless I uncheck the "Group items by category" option. Is there something
wrong with my update site?

2. I get "There is nothing to update" when I press "Check for Updates". If I
look at the "Available Software" dialog, I see that there are update-able
features (they have "refresh" icon). How can I debug this?

Both things happen in a p2-enabled product.

Thanks,
Michael.

I've found something that can shed light on this issue (may be):

The problem is that the property "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.root" is NOT
set for features that make up my product.
The only entry that contains this property is IU that was specified after
"-installUI" option when running a p2 director.
Why is that?
