telephone call
Hi *,
the attached ZIP archive contains two projects containing a feature and a
branding plugin project (that contains the .product file, too). My main problem
is the creation of the necessary p2 repositories without importing *every*
dependency into my workspace, but in the end it is possible to create a new
repository based on the .product, feature and plugin and use this in order to
install a new RCP package from it. Be aware that this is a very rough and not
yet completed example, but it seems to work, at least on my computer.
Prerequisites: I used the last I-build (I20090416-1053) and installed the RCP
Delta Pack.
After importing the two projects from the attached ZIP archive you can use the
product export wizard from the org.eclipse.epp.packages.rcp/rcp.product file
and export it for multiple platforms and generate a metadata repository (on my
computer into directory /tmp/test). At the end I see some error messages from
PDE but the repository is available at /tmp/test/repository/ anyway.
Now you should be able to use the p2 director to create a new
"package" installation somewhere on your computer, e.g. with this
command:
eclipse -nosplash -consoleLog \
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application \
-metadataRepositories file:///tmp/test/repository/,http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/
\
-artifactRepositories file:///tmp/test/repository/,http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/
\
-installIU org.eclipse.epp.package.product.rcp \
-destination /tmp/epp/eclipse \
-profile epp.package.rcp \
-profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true \
-bundlepool /tmp/epp/eclipse \
-p2.os linux -p2.ws gtk -p2.arch x86_64 \
-roaming -vmargs -Declipse.p2.mirrors=false
-Declipse.p2.data.area=/tmp/epp/eclipse/p2
Make sure that you list all the required repositories (Galile + your own) and
modify the p2.[os,ws,arch] parameters.
On my machine I set the execution bits on the eclipse executables manually,
perhaps there is an error somewhere in the export from the zip archive.
Regards,
Markus
