Re: [p2-dev] Loading eclipseextension repository with artifact size = 0

[Mikhail Kalkov <mikhail.kalkov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ali,

I believe that an eclipseextension (ExtensionLocationMetadataRepository) can only contain features/ and plugins/ directories. If you additionally have any of p2 metadata files ({artifacts,compositeArtifacts,content,compositeContent}.{xml,jar}), this becomes a p2 repository (StandardP2Repository). Finally, starting with Eclipse 4.2 an error is produced if one tries to load an eclipseextension directory with one of the aforementioned files, unless there is a ".eclipseextension" file which silences the error (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=348990). I don't know an answer to your question, but hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Mikhail Kalkov

Please note that eclipseextension repo is automatically created with 
below mentioned data even when you delete all the IUs from the eclipse-juno.
