RE: [p2-dev] How to install a plugin using P2
|
Priya,
Instead of providing an update site jar you could host an
http update site. This will be just like your old one except it will now contain
p2 metadata generated using the p2 metadata tool as documented here:
All you need to do then is to let your users know your
update site URL so that they can add it to the list of repositories in the P2
Update UI. Software in this site will then become available to your users, as
will updates when you add them to the repository over time.

Hi,
We built an Database Query Explorer as a plugin for
eclipse. Till eclipse 3.3 we used to provide update-site.jar for our
users to download it and install the plugin. Now we want to use the Equinox P2
technology. We have gone through te documntaion regarding metadata generator and
p2 director application inthe wiki.
However, we don't have a clear picture on how to implement it. Could
someone please point to any examples or documentation regarding this.
Should every feature or plugin that is to be installed, generate a
Installation unit. i.e. even for an update site project in our case, and then
use that Installation Unit to install through p2 director app.
Thank You for your help.
TIA,
priya
