Can p2 install feature with version range? [message #695165]

Mon, 11 July 2011 03:22

Eclipse User

Hi guys,

I want to using org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director to install a feature with a range of version, such like [1.3.7,1.4.0] rather than a explicit version "1.3.9".
Can this be fulfilled? How?
<targetProductFolder>/eclipsec.exe
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director
-repository ***
-installIU org.eclipse.cdt.feature.group/<version>

-installIU seems to support installing based on a query. If it starts with Q: ...

See http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fp2_director.html

and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Query_Language_for_p2

The wiki page isn't that up to date, but there should be a way to specify a version range.

See http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/p2-dev/msg03894.html for a thread where we try and use it Smile

Thanks for your reply. I still can't find out the correct format of query sentence, is there any further help file about this?

And I have another question refer to you. I want to get all the dependencies(features and plugins) of a feature from some remote update sites, what should I do?

Hopefully someone here could speak up about specifying version ranges in the p2 QL ...

That's the query in this message: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/p2-dev/msg03885.html without the weird 'Â' characters.

IIRC, use a matches operation ~= with one of the combinations:

IInstallableUnit ~= IRequirement
Version ~= VersionRange
String ~= VersionRange

It is on the p2QL wiki page ;)
