[p2-dev] Installing features using P2 and maintaining JAR output

[James Perry <perryja@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

The Rational UA Infrastructure team is working with P2 installs as part of our builds, and one thing we noticed is that when P2 installs a feature (even if the feature is a .jar), once the feature is installed into the Eclipse environment, it is installed as a folder - not a JAR. Is there a switch or other way to maintain the feature as a .JAR once it is installed? The reason I am asking is we are building a site.xml file based on the contents of our builds, and we want the site.xml to have JARs in it, not folders.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim
