Help installing a feature with P2 [message #115775] Wed, 06 August 2008 14:07

Hi,

We are unable to install a simple feature using eclipse 3.4 P2.Following
are the steps used to install the feature.

1.)Built a simple plugin using the Hello World template.
2.) Built a feature including the Hello World plugin.
3.)Copied the plugin and feature folders to C:/install
4.) generated the metadata using EclipseGenerator with the following
arguments
-source C:/install -metadataRepository file:c:/repository/
-metadataRepositoryName "Sample Repository" -artifactRepository
file:c:/repository/ -artifactRepositoryName "Sample Artifacts"
After this contents.jar is placed in the C:/repository folder.

5.) Run the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application with arguments
-metadataRepository file:c:/repository/
-artifactRepository file:c:/repository/
6.) After the director runs successfully but the the sample plugin and
feature is not installed. And no error is thrown.

We also tried to install using the Help > Software Updates >Available
Software.
Added the C:/repository as local by selecting the Add Site button. Then
selected "Install" menu by right clicking on the Sample Feature. Same
behavior is observed.

Could some one please point out what we are missing here, or point out any
examples or documentation available that would help solve this problem.

Thank You in Advance.

Regards,
rein
