Programmatically select repository in InstallWizard [message #1424298] Mon, 15 September 2014 15:43 Go to next message

I am using p2 API to install additional features in the product. One of the things I need to do is to select specific repository in Combo "Work with:" of the InstallWizard (Help -> Install New Software...). Looking at the code it looks like AvailableIUsPage does not expose RepositorySelectionGroup repoSelector so that I can select specific repository. Is there a way I can select specific repository that I am overlooking?

Alex,

I wonder if Oomph provides what you need... Oomph's p2 tasks provide
exactly this type of capability... In any case, when implementing Oomph
we've often run into these types of situations where something we need
access to is hidden in private methods or private fields. With a little
reflective hacking, it's always possible to get at such things. It's
not pretty, but waiting for APIs to be opened up is generally a very
long wait...
