Hi experts,
I know my title sounds familliar to you. Indeed I went through many
resources (also on this newsgroup) without finding an actual solution.
My goal is to completely automate the build process of my update site
using hudson.
Basically I'd like to have an update site with 1 category called
Model-Checker and which contains 1 feature. It works except for the
categories.
I use Helios on max os x.
Hereafter my site.xml and category.xml.
To generate my update site I do the following:
1) copy site.xml and category into directory http://myserver/updates
2) Copy all the previously generated jar (feature + plugin)
3) On the server (which is also the hudson server) I run
java
-jar
$ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20 100507.jar
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.UpdateSitePublisher
-source $WORKSPACE/AlPiNA.site/dist/
-compress -publishArtifacts
-consoleLog
-artifactRepository file:/$WORKSPACE/AlPiNA.site/dist
-metadataRepository file:/$WORKSPACE/AlPiNA.site/dist
and
java
-jar
$ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20 100507.jar
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.CategoryPublisher
-consoleLog
-metadataRepository file:/$WORKSPACE/AlPiNA.site/dist
-categoryDefinition file:/$WORKSPACE/AlPiNA.site/dist/category.xml
-categoryQualifier
-compress
The problem is that using the "Install new Software" menu I have to
unclick the group items by category. The point is that it is an extra
click for the user and a bit counter-intuive.
Is it possible that the problem is hidden in way I generate the feature?
I obviouly miss something, it would be great of you to point it out.
Second question : Does eclipse keep a cache of the update sites and if
yes how can disable it. It is really annoying to have to stop eclipse
during development.
Many thanks in advance
Steve
