Hi,

I am facing a problem installing a feature using Equinox P2. Could someone please point me to any examples or documentation that would help solve the problem. Following are the steps taken to install a feature.

1.)We have developed a simple plugin using the HelloWorld template. Included the plugin in a feature. Both the plugin and feature folders are placed in the C:/sourceFolder.
2.) Generated the metadata using EclipseGenerator withe the following arguments.
-source C:/sourceFolder -metadataRepository
file:C:/repository/ -metadataRepositoryName "Sample Repository"
-artifactRepository file:C:/repository/ -artifactRepositoryName
"Sample Artifacts"
-publishArtifacts -publishArtifactRepository
4.) After the metadata is generated inthe C:/repository folder, tried
installing the featureby running the
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application with the following
arguments.
-metadataRepository file:C:/repository/
-artifactRepository file:C:/repository/

This didn't throw any errors, but didn't install the feature either.

Also tried installing the feature using the Help > Software Updates>
Available Software. Added the C:/repository by selecting "Add Site"
button. Then selecting the "Install" menu in the context menu over
"Sample Feature". This too didn't work.

Please let us know if we are doing anything wrong here.
