Is it possible to automatically add an update site to the list in
"Available Software"?
I have a feature available from a P2 repository that has a dependency on
another feature in a different P2 repository.
So, I added a reference to the second repository as a discovery site in my
feature.xml:
<url>
<update label="%updateLabel"
url="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/34/update"/> <!-- My site -->
<discovery label="%eaUpdateLabel"
url=" http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/34/dev/equinox-aspect s"/>
<!-- Dependent site -->
</url>
I would expect that when trying to install the feature in my update site,
it would automatically check the features in the discovery site for
dependencies.
It doesn't.
In order to install my feature, it is necessary to have the second site in
the list of "Available Software". If it's not there (even if the site is
included in "Manage Sites...", my feature will not install.
Any ideas how to get around this?
thanks for your help,

The solution is to use the associateSitesURL argument in the site.xml .
