Hi,
I am trying to write a custom Install handler for a plugin. So that my
custom installer is called when installing the plugin after the plugin is
downloaded.
1. I created the plugin with name basicPlugin (hello world plugin)
2. I created the custom install handler plugin - basicInstaller
which contains the class -
import org.eclipse.update.core.BaseInstallHandler;
public class MyInstallHandler extends BaseInstallHandler {
public void completeConfigure(){
System.out.println("Called from inside MyInstallHandler");
}
}
basicInstaller plugin also contains Activator.java class which I do not
use.
3. I exported the plugin as basicInstaller_1.0.0.jar
4. I created the feature project- basicFeature for plugin basicPlugin and
added basicPlugin to it.
5. I put the basicInstaller_1.0.0.jar file inside the src folder of
feature.
6. I added the basicInstaller_1.0.0.jar inside Installaation section
as non-plug in data and also specified basicInstaller as installer for
this feature.
My feature.xml file is as follows-
<feature
id="basicFeature"
label="basicFeature"
version="3.0.0"
provider-name="CSC">
<install-handler library="basicInstaller"
handler="basicInstaller.MyInstallHandler"/>
<description url="http://www.example.com/description">
[Enter Feature Description here.]
features of this plugin are as follows -
1.2.3
</description>
<copyright url="http://www.example.com/copyright">
[Enter Copyright Description here.]
</copyright>
<license url="http://www.example.com/license">
[Enter License Description here.]
</license>
<plugin
id="basicPlugin"
download-size="101"
install-size="101"
version="3.0.0"
unpack="false"/>
<data
id="src/basicInstaller_3.0.0.jar"
download-size="0"
install-size="0"/>
</feature>
7. Then I pulished this feature to a update site project.
8. Then when I run the update manager, I am able to select the basic
plugin
from list of available downloads but when I click on finish, it gives
me a error - Update opeation has failed.
Any help on this topic would be appreciated.
Thanks
