Re: [p2-dev] use of dropins support in rcp app?

[DJ Houghton <DJ_Houghton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Scott, this sounds right to me. The easiest this to do would be set up the rcp app for remote debug [1] and then connect and step through the code in the reconciler to see what is happening. After it makes it through a couple of isUpToDate() checks, the next interesting method is createProfileChangeRequest() which goes over all the available repo and discovers new bundles. If you can't figure it out then feel free to open up a bug report and attach a simple zip I can download it and see if I can see what's going on.

-Xdebug

Hey,

Is there any documentation on the use of the 'dropins' directory support 
in an rcp app?  From what I've seen, I expect that these plugins need to 
be present and started (and p2 dependencies of course):

org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.directorywatcher

Question:  are there other things that need to be done (other than 
having a dropins folder in install location), in order to have p2 
install bundles and/or fragments that are added to the dropins folder of 
an rcp application?  What I'm seeing is that although these bundles are 
present and started (at app startup), adding bundles to the dropins 
folder is currently ignored.

Thanksinadvance for any pointers,

Scott
