Re: [p2-dev] pre-populating sites list

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey Scott,

This doesn't work because plugin_customization.ini
is for instance preferences, but repositories are stored in the configuration
preference scope (eclipse/configuration/.settings). There is no equivalent
mechanism for priming configuration scope preferences. The only technique
I know of, which is what we did with the platform, is to manually slam
the preference files at install-time (or have code at runtime that calls
the p2 APIs to add the repositories). In 3.5 we have an "add repository"
touchpoint instruction that can be used to add repositories to a profile
from a product, feature, or bundle, but this isn't available in 3.4.x.

Subject	[p2-dev] pre-populating sites list

Hi Folks,

I have an rcp app that I'm p2 enabling, and I would like to pre-populate
the sites list with several of my own (like Eclipse 3.4 does with 
Ganymede sites).  BTW...this is with 3.4.1 as target platform.

I already have a plugin_customization.ini file with contents below.  
Although I see the effect on the created product of the other 
preferences (e.g. the org.eclipse.ui/SHOW_PROGRESS_ON_STARTUP is having
the desired effect), I'm not seeing the repositories appear in the list
of sites.  Are the preference ids below correct?  Is something
else 
obviously wrong?  Do I need more/other preferences?

Thanksinadvance,

Scott
