I have a ant build script which needs to run the p2 director application
in headless environment. This is how I try to do it:

> <java classname="org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main" fork="true" failonerror="true">
> <arg value="-application" />
> <arg value="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application" />
> <arg value="-metadataRepository" />
> <arg value="${p2.metadata.repo}" />
> <arg value="-artifactRepository" />
> <arg value="${p2.artifacts.repo}" />
> <arg value="-installIU" />
> <arg value="${p2.install.iu}" />
> <arg value="-version" />
> <arg value="${p2.feature.version}" />
> <arg value="-destination" />
> <arg value="${targetEclipse}" />
> <arg value="-profile" />
> <arg value="SDKProfile" />
> <arg value="-vmArgs" />
> <arg value="-Declipse.p2.data.area=${targetEclipse}/p2" />
> <classpath>
> <pathelement location=" ${hostEclipse}/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_ ${equinoxLauncherPluginVersion}.jar " />
> </classpath>
> </java>
> </target>

I previously used to run the director application using the "eclipse"
launcher, but that doesn't work to well when DISPLAY isn't set.

There are no visible problems when running the application, but
attempting to use the target application (${targetEclipse}) to run the
PDE build scripts fails complaining about missing plugins?

What could I be doing wrong?

Jesper,
The -vmargs is an argument to the eclipse executable, it doesn't work
when launching java directly. Because you are using the <java> task,
you need to change it to be more like:

....
<arg value="-profile" />
<arg value="SDKProfile" />
<jvmarg value="-Declipse.p2.data.area=${targetEclipse}/p2" />
