Hi there,
as already mentioned by Markward, we want
to add updatable language features to our
tycho-built product.
We have the following setup now:
- a feature-based product named
"example.product", containing the features:
com.ourcompany.feature.application (here
we have added a plugin called
"com.ourcompany.client.i18n", containing
some i18n specific code and default
messages)
com.ourcompany.feature.thirdparty
- "example.p2.inf" file
here we are specifying additional
language features containing fragments. The
above mentioned plugin
"com.ourcompany.client.i18n" is the host
plugin of these fragments.
The example.p2.inf file has the following
content:
requires.0.namespace = com.ourcompany
requires.0.name =
com.ourcompany.client.feature.i18n.de_CH.group
requires.0.range = [1.0.0, 1.2.0]
requires.1.namespace = com.ourcompany
requires.1.name =
com.ourcompany.client.feature.i18n.de_DE.group
requires.1.range = [1.0.0, 1.2.0]
requires.2.namespace = com.ourcompany
requires.2.name =
com.ourcompany.client.feature.i18n.en.group
requires.2.range = [1.0.0, 1.2.0]
instructions.configure=\
addRepository(type:0,location:http${#58}//ourcompany.com/language-repository);\
addRepository(type:1,location:http${#58}//ourcompany.com/language-repository);
- The specified repository provides a
tycho build p2 repo containing the required
features.
- We have added the p2.inf file to
build.properties.
At first we were thinking that running the
tycho product build would automatically
install the feature. This seems not to be
the case, as the features cannot be found.
We are wondering, if it is necessary to
create an extra ant script to explicitly
install the feature (like in Andrew's
approach), or if there is a less complicated
way of adding updatable features to our
product.
As we are new to p2 provisioning, please
excuse us if we are not seeing the obvious.
Any help would be appreciated!
Greetings,
Sonja Alberts
