Buckminster - Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) - New and Noteworthy

Buckminster for Galileo 3.5 basically has two important changes:

  • The use of Update Manager is now completely replaced by p2
  • Buckminster supports convenient publishing to p2 repositories

The p2 integration

The P2 integration affects four areas: 1. The eclipse.import reader was previously only capable of resolving if it found a 'site.xml' or a releng style map file. It's preferred choice now is a P2 enabled site. 2. We now have a 'p2' materializer and in the coming release, it will supplant the 'targetPlatform' materializer completely. 3. The buckminster installer is now based solely on the p2 director. 4. New actions have been added in the PDE support to support the creation of P2 update sites.
