Re: [p2-dev] How to add a new feature to an existing repository?

[Samuel Wu <samuelwu@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Brian,
I'm running a headless build and don't want to manually update the content.xml/jar each time I run the build. Is there a way to set the category name when calling the ant task p2.mirror? Thanks.

Best Regards

Samuel Wu

I would assume you need to specify the IU for the category too.  Look in the content.xml/jar for an IU with a property 'org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.category'.  For example, one of my repos has a generated category named '201102100915.Default':

    <unit id='201102100915.Default' version='1.0.0.7D7U3cBIFjh7kMYYMkYMO1ZH'>
      <properties size='3'>        
		 <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.name' value='Uncategorized'/>
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.description' value='Default category for otherwise uncategorized features'/>
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.type.category' value='true'/>
      </properties>
      <provides size='1'>        
		 <provided namespace='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu' name='201102100915.Defau
lt' version='1.0.0.7D7U3cBIFjh7kMYYMkYMO1ZH'/>      </provides>
      <requires size='6'>
        <!-- .... -->
