I have a feature containing 2 bundles and would like to set the start
level for the 2 bundles. How can I do that? Just using

instructions.configure=\
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.setStartLevel(star tLevel: 4);\
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.markStarted(starte d: true);

does not work. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Luzi

Is the p2.inf co-located with the bundles?

No, I would like to have the p2.inf within the feature. We want to reuse
the bundle in different scenarios. Thus, I cannot put the p2.inf into
the bundle. If I put the p2.inf in the META-INF directory of the bundle,
then I can set the start level as described below.

Ok. If that's the case then you have a bit more work. What you'll have to do
is in the feature craft IUFragments that reference the bundle IUs and do the
configuring in the IUFragments. See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Customizing_Metadata#Addi tional_Installable_Unit_Advice:

To make an IU a fragment declare a "hostRequirement" on the bundle IUs.
What you'll end up with is a p2.inf something like this:

# Add the requirement for the first fragment to the feature
requires.1.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
requires.1.name = mybundle1.fragment
requires.1.range = 1.0.0

# Add the requirement for the second fragment to the feature
requires.2.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
requires.2.name = mybundle2.fragment
requires.2.range = 1.0.0

# Create the first fragment
units.1.id = mybundle1.fragment
units.1.version = 1.0.0
units.1.singleton = true
units.1.provides.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.1.provides.0.name = mybundle1.fragment
units.1.provides.0.version = 1.0.0
units.1.instructions.configure =
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.setStartLevel(star tLevel:
4);org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.markStarted(sta rted: true);
units.1.hostRequirements.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.1.hostRequirements.0.name = mybundle1
units.1.hostRequirements.0.range = 1.0.0

# Create the second fragment
units.2.id = mybundle1.fragment
units.2.version = 1.0.0
units.2.singleton = true
units.2.provides.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.2.provides.0.name = mybundle2.fragment
units.2.provides.0.version = 1.0.0
units.2.instructions.configure =
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.setStartLevel(star tLevel:
4);org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.markStarted(sta rted: true);
units.2.hostRequirements.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.2.hostRequirements.0.name = mybundle2
units.2.hostRequirements.0.range = 1.0.0

Note: This is just an example as I haven't tried this out. You probably
would want to publish this feature and verify everything looks correct in
the IU xml.

Thanks for the info. I tried with your proposal, but it did not work.
The bundle is installed, but my settings are not taken into
consideration. Moreover, the bundle does not show up in the
bundles.info. The IU xml looks ok for me but my experience with IU xml's
is very limited. Any tipps, how I can debug the installation procedure
or verify the IU xml?

Doh. We of course still need the fragment to provide install and uninstall
instructions

e.g.
units.1.instructions.install =
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.installBundle(bund le:${artifact})
units.1.instructions.uninstall =
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.uninstallBundle(bu ndle:${artifact})

units.2.instructions.install =
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.installBundle(bund le:${artifact})
units.2.instructions.uninstall =
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.uninstallBundle(bu ndle:${artifact})

You can post the IUs that were generated for the feature, two bundles, and
two fragments and I (or others) can take a look.

The instructions below let the bundle appear in my product.
Thanks Simon for your help!

Just googled this - which really helped me out!
I summarize this for further reference:

1. Add a p2.inf to the features META-INF/ directory
2. To e.g. set the startlevel to 1 with autostart true for a bundle named org.eclipse.gemini.naming contained in the respective feature, p2.inf has to look like this

# Set start level for gemini.namining
requires.1.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
requires.1.name = naming.bundle.fragment
requires.1.range = 1.0.0

units.1.id = naming.bundle.fragment
units.1.version = 1.0.0
units.1.singleton = true
units.1.provides.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.1.provides.0.name = naming.bundle.fragment
units.1.provides.0.version = 1.0.0
units.1.instructions.configure = setStartLevel(startLevel:1);markStarted(started: true);
units.1.hostRequirements.0.namespace = org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu
units.1.hostRequirements.0.name = org.eclipse.gemini.naming
units.1.hostRequirements.0.version = 0.0.0
units.1.instructions.install = installBundle(bundle:${artifact})
units.1.instructions.uninstall = uninstallBundle(bundle:${artifact})

How can I make 2 p2.inf files in different meta-inf folder run one after other ?

Please have a look to my question link :
