SOLUTION: the problem was that when launching from within the IDE one must go to the Configuration tab of the launch configuration and check the "Support software installation in the launched application" button.
Hi,
I need some help using the P2 services API to inspect the running configuration at runtime. I am trying to query the active profile with this code (from a stack overflow post):
ProvisioningUI provisioningUI = ProvisioningUI.getDefaultUI();
String profileId = provisioningUI.getProfileId();
ProvisioningSession provisioningSession = provisioningUI.getSession();
IProvisioningAgent agent = provisioningSession.getProvisioningAgent();
IProfileRegistry registry = (IProfileRegistry) agent
.getService(IProfileRegistry.SERVICE_NAME);
if (registry == null)
return;
IQueryable<IInstallableUnit> queryable = registry.getProfile(profileId);
At runtime, the profileId value returned by the provisioning UI is _SELF_. When the last line effectively calls registry.getProfile("_SELF_") I a null value is returned.
Is "_SELF_" a valid profile id? Why can't I list access it?
