Re: [tycho-user] Remove p2 Folder in Materialized Products

Hej Tobias,

In the materialized product folders I'm a little bothered about this
additional eclipsec.exe, which I managed to remove via a
productfilename.p2.inf and the entry
instructions.configure=org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.natives.remove(pa
th:${installFolder}/eclipsec.exe);
This is a hack and only works by chance: p2 doesn't guarantee any order in which

Thanks for that very interesting hint. I'll keep this hack going, as
long it just works for us.
The proper solution needs some investment in how p2 publishes products to no longer

Ah, okay. I would have filed a feature request, but I guess there are
not so many users who don't need the eclipsec.exe and even less who care
about this additional executable anyway.
And for the "Bundle JRE"-Feature, I'll try to implement this by using p2
touchpoints and their copy mechanisms, which seems a little smarter than
our current approach (own JRE-Feature containting the JRE as root
files). If that works, the p2 folder with its binary cache will shrink
to a size of a few kB, and so it won't bother me either.
Thanks again,
Mirko Swillus
