Re: [tycho-user] Adding discovery sites to p2 repository 
There's a mojo we use for JBoss Tools which can add repository
references to an update site's content.xml: .

https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-maven-plugins/tree/master/tycho-plugins/repository-utils

See the example in the readme. You just need to add the config that
provides associateSites:

                        <associateSites>

<site>http://download.server.org/path/to/updates/</site>

<site>http://download.server.org/path/to/more/updates/</site>
                        </associateSites>

Hope that helps,

Nick

We don’t want to enable includeAllDependencies because this just creates a massive repository and makes updates difficult. We don’t want to use a composite repository because the dependencies get shown to the user. We would like the dependent repositories to be added to the content.xml using the <references> and <repository> elements.

I’ve also tried adding a p2.inf file with addRepository touchpoint commands, but these don’t seem to be added either.
