Hello,
I created an Xtext project for the definition of a custom DSL. I built the DSL into a plugin package using Buckminster.
I would like to install this newly created DSL plugin into an Eclipse installation. I wrote an ANT script to use P2 director to do that, which effectively does the installations of org.mydsl.sdk.feature.group, org.eclipse.xtext.sdk.feature.group, org.eclipse.emf.sdk.feature.group into the {ECLIPSE_HOME}\plugins directory.
I get no errors, the ANT script finishes. I restarted Eclipse, created a new project and created a file with my DSL's extension, Eclipse does not recognize and associate Xtext nature to this project.
If I install the plugin through the "Install new software" process, the Xtext nature is recognized and it works.
What is going wrong with the use of p2.director ?
I have pasted my ANT target for reference :
<target name="install" description="description">
<java fork="true" logError="true" classname="org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main" failonerror="true">
<classpath>
<fileset dir="${ant.home}/../">
<include name="org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar" />
</fileset>
</classpath>
<arg value='-nosplash' />
<arg value="-application"/>
<arg value="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director"/>
<arg value="-repository"/>
<arg value="file:/C:/Users/kalaa1/AppData/Local/Temp/buckminster/build/org.example.first.model.site_1.0.0-eclipse.feature/site.p2/, http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/, http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler"/>
<arg value="-destination"/>
<arg value="${PLUGINSHOME}"/>
<arg value="-installIU"/>
<arg value="org.example.first.model.sdk.feature.group, org.eclipse.xtext.sdk.feature.group, org.eclipse.emf.sdk.feature.group"/>
<jvmarg line=" -Xms256m -Xmx1024m" />
</java>
<echo message="Finished installing the plugins successfully"/>
</target>

PLUGINSHOME sounds suspicious: -destination must be the path of the
eclipse installation, not the path of 'plugins' inside the eclipse
installation
