Re: [p2-dev] what variable should i use to run some native touch point a

[Johan Compagner <jcompagner@xxxxxxxxx>]

found it

i have to say not directly obvious (and what then that feature thing does of unpack not unpack i have no idea)

but adding: Eclipse-BundleShape: dir 

to the manifest of the plugin works

hmm can't seem to get any luck these days

i have the plugin, the setJvm is working (the eclipse.ini is updated)

but updated to:

-vm
plugins/com.servoy.jre.test.win32.x86_64_12.0.0.jar/jre/bin/j9vm/jvm.dll

that has 2 problems, i kind of expect a full path... this is my p2.inf:

org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.setJvm(jvm:${artifact.location}/jre/bin/j9vm/jvm.dll);

I wonder what happens if i make the eclipse install dir readonly.. 

But ofcourse the main problem is that it doesn't extract it..

The feature.xml does say that:

   <plugin
         id="com.servoy.jre.test.win32.x86_64"
         os="win32"
         arch="x86_64"
         download-size="40539"
         install-size="116415"
         version="12.0.0"
         unpack="true"/>

(i also tried without unpack="true" which is i think default value)

On the plugin itself i think i can't say that.. is there another place?

So making it plugins that unzip..?

i can try this.. would also mean i think that i don't get that problem of deletion because eclipse doesn't try to directly delete plugins (i think, not sure about unzipped plugins)

Hi Johan,

It looks like using features (group/jar) makes things more complex here.

It is indeed likely that all this was never successfully used by anyone so far ;)

However, if the final goal is to ship a JRE as a p2 unit, what just using platform-specific bundles instead of platform-specific features? With bundles, you wouldn't face the group vs jar issue and might be more successful.
