P2 Agent not found when running P2-installer [message #632176]

Hi,

I'm looking into using p2 for updating our existing client RCP application. It is my intention to use the p2-installer to download/update the applicaton on the customer's machines. The installer itself will be made available through JNLP

Now.... I've checked out the p2-installer source code.

When I try to run the p2-installer product, it seems that the agent service is not registered, and gives me the following NullPointer exception :

!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.installer 4 0 2010-10-11 23:58:40.656
!MESSAGE An error occurred during installation
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.installer.InstallApplication .startAgent(InstallApplication.java:208)
at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.installer.InstallApplication .start(InstallApplication.java:142)
at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(Eclips eAppHandle.java:196)
at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher .runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:110)
at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher .start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:79)

When I run the p2-installer.exe, everything works fine, so there must be something different between running it from my workspace and running it from the binary executable

(NOTE : I have the same exception when I run the p2-installer from java webstart)

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

I have found the solution to my problem Razz

I forgot to add the simpleconfigurator start-up bundles to my JNLP file:

<property name="osgi.bundles" value="org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator@start"/>
<property name="org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator.configUrl" value=" http://localhost:8080/p2_installer_web/configuration/org.ecl ipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info"/>

Regards,
Mario.
