Re: [equinox-dev] Installer and agent data location

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Note that there are command line options
to the director for both the p2 data area and whether or not to install
features.

See the help:
Platform Plug-in Developer Guide ->
Programmer's Guide -? Packaging and delivering Eclipse based products ->
Provisioning platform (p2) -> Installing software using p2 director
application

In the Section "Installing a complete
product", see the arguments:
-profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true
-vmargs
-Declipse.p2.data.area=D:/eclipse/p2

Torkild/Pedro: I suggest entering bug reports to track these two issues.
I'm not aware of existing bug reports about it.

Yes, it looks like that. And if you delete the installer, your
installation will be broken and cannot be updated.

The installer found in HEAD is not creating the features directory. That
is a result of setting IProfile.PROP_INSTALL_FEATURES of the profile to
"true". For our installer I've set this property
inInstallUpdateProductOperation.createProfile(). I have no idea if the
installer should install features or not.

I've not found any bugs to track these issues either. Could someone from
the p2 team please comment on this thread?
