Hello everybody,
we implemented a product based on RCP. We also created a update site.

Our problem is to add the update site when creating the product. Is it possible to add this, e.g. via some xml-file, the product or in the code?

Thanks for your help.

Nico

Hello

Your product contains a number of features - right? Did you configure
the update site on the features?

If you do so, the sites should AFAIK be added to the list of available
sites.

In our product (built by p2) we have the following in the .product's p2.inf:

instructions.configure=\
addRepository(type:0,location:http${#58}//download.eclipse.o rg/eclipse/updates/3.6-I-builds,name:Eclipse
3.6 I-builds);\
addRepository(type:1,location:http${#58}//download.eclipse.o rg/eclipse/updates/3.6-I-builds,name:Eclipse
3.6 I-builds);
.....

This fills in the update sites for that product to use.

Hello Michael,

Thanks so far Smile

We already tried to do that like this:

Quote:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feature
id="org.xxx.core.feature"
label="xxx Core"
version="2.3.3"
provider-name="xxx."
plugin="org.xxx.application"
image="pic.jpg">

<description url="http://somewhere.org/plugins/1">
...
</description>

<copyright>
...
</copyright>

<license url="http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html">
Eclipse Public License - v 1.0
...
</license>

<url>
<update label="Update Site" url="http://somewhere.org/plugins/1"/>
<discovery label="More Features" url="http://somewhere.org/plugins/1"/>
</url>

<plugin
id="org.xxx.pluginxxx"
download-size="0"
install-size="0"
version="0.0.0"/>

</feature>

in url > update, url > discovery and in description we defined the Update Site.

Would you do it like this?
This does not work for us. Sad

If not: I am very keen to know how you would like to do it.

Thanks a lot.

Kind Regards,
Nico

That was the way I was expecting it to work :-(

When installing features (not products) I use p2 touchpoints but I have
not done that so far for products --> see Paul Webster's reply to your
question. He might help here.
