Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] p2 provisioned eclipse missing companion library

You should be able to find good p2 data at
http://update.eclipse.org/eclipse/testUpdates/

Pascal,

Thanks for the pointers.  The eclipse.ini as well as other files are
indeed being dropped down by p2.  Perhaps this is an issue that
relates to the metadata generator producing output that is not
expected.  How and when did you last generate the p2 metadata you are
running against?

Here's what I see for the toolingorg.eclipse.launcher...'s touchpoints:

<touchpoint id="native" version="1.0.0"/>
<touchpointData size="1">
   <instructions size="2">
     <instruction key="uninstall">
             cleanupzip(source:@artifact, target:${installFolder});
     </instruction>
     <instruction key="install">
             unzip(source:@artifact, target:${installFolder});
     </instruction>
   </instructions>
</touchpointData>

And for the org.eclipse.launcher...'s touchpoints:

<touchpoint id="native" version="1.0.0"/>
(and that's it)

Is there a public "known good" p2 site that I can validate against?
It looks like the milestone site still doesn't have p2 format data
available.

 From what I'm seeing, the currently checked-in metadata generator is
not including the addProgramArg instructions to the
org.eclipse.launcher... IUs' touchpoints as should be indicated by the
code in EclipseInstallGenerator.  I will continue digging but I am
curious what version of the generator others are using to perform
their testing.

I've tested regenerating the meta using the current code against both
an Eclipse 3.3 as well as 3.4M4 build with the same result.

Thanks,
Tim
