Re: [tycho-user] Deploy p2 updatesites to nexus
|
Thank you for your reply Irene,
I also had a look at the Nexus_Unzip_Plugin before, but I do not see a
real benefit compared to a hosted Repository on Nexus, where I just
upload by p2 updatesite artifacts directly.
How do you obtain your 3rd party non OSGi bundles and convert them in
order to deploy them to Nexus afterwards?
Does an automated process for this issue exist?
I mean an automated solution where I can just place my non OSGi
dependencies in a pom file and just run a build on Jenkins, in order to
get OSGi converted JARs and a p2 updatesite on my Nexus Repository?
Thanks in advance,
Simon

Hello Simon,
We have just put in place a solution using the Nexus unzip plugin that
is working quite well for us. You install the unzip-repository-plugin
into your Nexus instance to add the functionality to access zipped p2
repositories deployed to Nexus as a p2 site.
After you have generated a p2 repository using your chosen method, you
can deploy this site as a ZIP artifact to your Nexus repository. Add a
virtual repository that uses the Unzip Repository Provider on the
repository to which you deployed your ZIP, and you can point to the
unzipped version at another URL as an HTTP site, e.g.
http://<nexus>:8081/nexus/content/unzip/P2UnzipVirtualRepository/<groupId>/p2-repo-artifact/1.0.0-SNAPSHOT/p2-repo-artifact-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip-unzip/.
Here is the doc: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Nexus_Unzip_Plugin
You can find out which version corresponds to your Nexus version here:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Unzip_Plugin_Release_Notes/0.11
You can get the plugin artifact here (install the bundle.zip version
into your Nexus plugin-repository):
http://search.maven.org/#search|gav|1|g%3A%22org.eclipse.tycho.nexus%22%20AND%20a%3A%22unzip-repository-plugin%22
Hope this helps,
Irene

Dear tycho-users,
I am currently trying to establish a satisfying solution to generate
a p2 updatesite of non OSGi bundles on Nexus OSS.
Therefore I am using the p2-maven-plugin
(https://github.com/reficio/p2-maven-plugin) and define my non OSGi
dependencies in the pom.xml, which uses the p2-maven-plugin.
When building this by using "mvn p2:site", all non OSGi dependencies
are converted to OSGi bundles and a p2 updatesite, containing these
bundles, is created. This updatesite can be found in the "target >
repository" folder of the project. After the creation, I want to host
this p2 updatesite on my Nexus OSS repository, so that I can
reference this updatesite in my target definition and in the parent
pom for my tycho build as repository.
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>third-party-osgi</id>
<url>http://localhost:8081/nexus/content/sites/3rd_party_p2_updatesite/</url>
<layout>p2</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
In order to archive this I am currently using a shell script, which
traverses the "target > repository" folder und upload all
updatesite's artifacts, which have been created by the
p2-maven-plugin, to a certain Nexus repository by using curl and the
REST API of Nexus OSS.
This solution actually works, but I am wondering, if it could be
improved or if better alternative solutions already exists.
Therefore I have some questions:
Do you have any comments concerning the solution I just explained?
Are there any issues I could face with this solution?
Do other, better solutions exist to provide non OSGi 3rd party
libraries for a Tycho build?
In case you like my solution and have no complains concerning it, I
am willing blog about it so that you can get more details.
Please also do not hesitate to ask for more details, if something is
not clear concerning my proposed solution.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
