Hi all,

We have an p2-enabled update site for relase 2.1.0 of our software and now
want to add the features of 2.1.1 to the update site. The 2.1.0 are
categorized and the corresponding entry in content.xml does exist and
references the feature with their 2.1.0 version identifier. Now if I let
EclipseGenerator append the new features, they all end up in content.xml but
not in the categories, although they are correctly in the site.xml I pass to
the EclipseGenerator. Only the old ones are categoried so that users do not
see the new features on the update site! If I first deleted the category-
entry from content.xml and the run EclipseGenerator with the very same
arguments the new features are categorized (but of course the old ones are
not). I'm using the following command:

opt/eclipse/eclipse -application
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.generator.EclipseGenerator -consoleLog -
nosplash -updateSite . -append true -metadataRepository file:/dev/shm/KNIME-
Build/UpdateSite/labs.knime.org/update/2.1 -artifactRepository
file:/dev/shm/KNIME-Build/UpdateSite/labs.knime.org/update/2 .1 -site
file:/dev/shm/KNIME-Build/UpdateSite/labs.knime.org/update/2 .1/site.xml -
flavor tooling -publishArtifacts false

Is this a bug in the EclipseGenerator or am I doing something wrong?

Thorsten

This is a problem with the EclipseGenerator. Ultimately categories are
just IUs the same as everything else in p2. You need a new version to
get new content. The problem here is that the EclipseGenerator just
creates categories with version "0.0.0".

Eclipse 3.5 contains a new publisher which replaces the generator.
See
http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_publisher.html
There is a "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.UpdateSitePublisher"
application.

Or, if you like ant,
<eclipse.publish.featuresAndBundles
repository="file:C:/build/repository"
site="file:C:/build/site.xml" >
<features dir="C:\build\features\" includes="*" />
<bundles dir="C:\build\plugins" includes="*" />
</eclipse.publish.featuresAndBundles>
