Re: [ptp-dev] PTP 4.0 in Helios Update Site; missing features ?

[Vivian Kong <vivkong@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Beth,

Looks there are only 5 features specified in the ptp.build file in org.eclipse.helios.build. The Helios build picks up whatever are specified there so if you want more feature to show up on the Helios update site you have to add them to ptp.build.

OK, PTP has finally made it into one of the Helios update site builds. Sort of.

To see it, install Eclipse 3.6M5, e.g. from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/

Then in update manager - excuse me - really "p2" (Help > Install new software...) put the following update site in:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging

Note that http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios is already in the list, but its contents are old.

I don't think all the pieces and parts are there, however.
Find PTP under the "General Purpose Tools" category
but I only see 4 features there:
1. Parallel Tools Platform End-User Runtime
2. PTP Remote Development Tools
3. PTP Remote System Explorer Support
4. PTP TAU Extension

under "Programming Languages" category I see
- Photran End-User Runtime

If I look in the PTP 4.0 2/02 build update site (from http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/builds/4.0.0) which is the version (4.0.0.201002021202) that's in the Helios build,
I see more than this, but some stuff is still missing.
The main PLDT feature is missing but the PLDT-UPC extension is there
The main ETFw feature is missing but the TAU extension is there.
No resource managers. No ISP.
...etc.
There are (only) 11 features in our site.xml

If I uncheck "Group items by category" I see 29 features, what looks like a more complete feature list.
There is something wrong. There are only 11 features in the site.xml but I see 29 in the update mgr (un-categorized) dialog list.
(It's not caching from the Helios site, I get same behavior in a clean eclipse too)

OK, there is additional p2 metadata somewhere?
Where? I must be missing something.


...Beth
