Querying product's plugins under debug [message #1808831] Tue, 02 July 2019 13:53 Go to next message

Hello!

In my Eclipse-based product, I need to obtain some information about included plugins and their locations (paths to .jar-files).

When I am running my product as a standalone application built with Maven Tycho, I can use following code that uses P2 API:
BundleContext bundleContext = FrameworkUtil.getBundle(MyObject.class).getBundleContext();
ServiceReference<IProvisioningAgent> serviceReference = bundleContext.getServiceReference(IProvisioningAgent.class);
IProvisioningAgent agent = bundleContext.getService(serviceReference);
IProfileRegistry registry = (IProfileRegistry)agent.getService(IProfileRegistry.SERVICE_NAME);
profile = registry.getProfile(IProfileRegistry.SELF);


And then make a query and check if product contains specific plugin:
IQueryResult<IInstallableUnit> plugins = profile.query(QueryUtil.createIUQuery(pluginName), null);


Then, using obtained plugin name and version find its .jar in product's plugins directory.

But when I am running my product in IDE, during the development process, the mentioned above code returning null for the profile, so I can not make any P2 queries to obtain plugins. Are there any ways to fix it? And another question, if I managed to obtain this installable unit object and obtain name and version of the plugin, how can I find the location of its .jar file for the product that is run from IDE?

Just in case, my IDE uses P2 bundle pool.

Thanks for answers!

In the launch configuration you must, on the Configuration tab, enable "Support software installation in the launched application" to ensure that a self profile is available.
