Re: [p2-dev] Loading eclipseextension repository with artifact size = 0
|
I don't know about other subscribers of the p2-dev mailing list, but to me your description does not make sense at all.
>> My scenario is as following:
>> 1. Uninstall everything which is already installed in eclipse.
>> 2. Reinstall all the components along with some new/updated components.
As far as I know, Eclipse GUI does not have any explicit "uninstall" option. It is possible to uninstall components by going to a previous state, but if you've got a fresh copy, there is no previous state. On the other hand, one can use p2 director to uninstall components but all components in a fresh install are usually required by a single "root" one. So, it is impossible to uninstall random components. Finally, if you use p2 director, you can mention the same component in both uninstall and install lists, and it will be updated, but the update is again limited to what is permitted by the root element, and given you description I guess you had two separate operations anyway. You don't say if you use p2 director or another tool and if you run it inside the provisioned platform or separately. Consequently, it is not possible to say what "everything" means because what you can uninstall depends on whether you have to leave the platform runtime binary intact.
It would be much easier to understand you at least for me if you provided clear steps to reproduce your case. Which target Eclipse platform do you use exactly (list of root IU ids and versions or a link to download from eclipse.org)? If you run p2 director or another tool without starting the target platform, which version of Eclipse do you use exactly (see the previous question)? What are the commands you give to the director application? What is the expected outcome? What is the actual outcome?
