Re: [tycho-user] [Tycho-user] Target Definition entry to local p2 repository
Hi,

I think the problem is that in the generate P2 repository is not a feature.xml that includes import statements to the bundles in the plugins folder. That could be the reason why Eclipse cannot add the generate local p2 repository to the target definition file.

Regards,

Sandra

Hi,
 
probably it is not possible so easy to use the same target definition in eclipse and tycho?
My target definition in eclipse contains 2 directories (eclipse 3.7.1 and my own p2 repository), but for tycho I have the repositories added in the pom.xml or settings.xml.
Tycho does not support target platform entries of type directory and profile and the self created p2 repository I wasn’t able to add in eclipse as site to the target platform. Also with the example from Markward this does not work. Probably a category is missing?
Tried to create a feature project which includes all bundles for the repository and then created a update site project. In the update site project you can add the feature and click „build all“. But I was stuck on an error from eclipse about unresolved dependencies. If I create the p2 with the maven plugin descibed by Markward or with the eclipse.exe, no dependency problem occurs.

Hello,

I track this topic with high interest because it covers my current problem. So I tried Markward's idea out.

Like Markward described I copy my dependencies into a folder and build with the tycho-p2-extras-plugin from this folder a p2 site. Then I want to add this generated p2 site to the target definition, but Eclipse cannot discover the content of this p2 site.

Have anybody an idea where my mistake is?

I'm using Eclipse 3.7.1 and Maven Tycho 0.13.0.

I would be happy about a hint.

Regards,

Sandra Kosmalla

Maybe I can explain shortly how we solve a similar situation.

We have some own serverside-dependecies and additional thirdparty libraries, our RCP application depends on.
To make them available, we configured a maven project, to generate a p2 repository for these bundles.

Generation works in three steps:

First we resolve all dependencies with the dependency plugin and its copy goal.
Then, also with the maven-depenency-plugin we copy them to a defined destination in the targetfolder.
It is important, that the destination folder is /target/source/plugins or ~/features if you have features.

Then we configured the tycho-p2-extras-plugin to publish the artifacts of this folder into another folder as a valid p2 site.

           <plugin>
               <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho.extras</groupId>
               <artifactId>tycho-p2-extras-plugin</artifactId>
               <version>${tycho-version}</version>
               <executions>
                   <execution>
                       <phase>package</phase>
                       <goals>
                           <goal>publish-features-and-bundles</goal>
                       </goals>
                   </execution>
               </executions>
               <configuration>
                   <compress>false</compress>
               </configuration>
           </plugin>

The result is, that all publishable plugins then are published into the default-folder /target/repository/
This folder then can be consumed as a valid p2-repository by tycho.

Please check out https://docs.sonatype.org/display/TYCHO/Tycho-extras+-+FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher for an example. This is what inspired us for this solution.

Hope, this helps.

No, I am not sure…because it is the first p2 repository I created J

But I do not know how to integrate the 3rd party jars in the tycho build otherwise. The maintenance of the p2 repository is a little bit annoying. I ask myself how the people from eclipse do this.

Oliver, are you sure, the local directory you point to is a valid p2 repository, asked before?
I am not an expert on P2, but we have a pretty similar scenario here, which works out for us.

We actually create our local repo by actively publishing bundles from one simple plugin-folder with the help of the tycho-p2-extras-plugin's publish-features-and-bundles-goal. This creates some metadata, wich makes our repo understood by tycho.

As far as i understand, this goal is a wrapper for the "Features And Bundles Publisher Application" of eclipse.

Hope this helps

This

   <repository>
       <id>indigo</id>
       <layout>p2</layout>
       <url>file:${user.home}/p2-repo</url>
   </repository>

in the parent pom also works for me, but I  tried to move all in the .target file of eclipse. At this time I have the defintion on 2 places.... pom and target Definition. I thought it is quite easy to give the target definition to tycho.

No, Tycho ignores categories and features; you can only compile
against bundles.

Are you sure the local repo is valid (artifact and content files are
valid, correct, and up-to-date)?

FWIW, I use this in my POM:

   <repository>
       <id>indigo</id>
       <layout>p2</layout>
       <url>file:${user.home}/p2-repo</url>
   </repository>

and this works.
