Build specific suggestions
- Product based builds with p2
- Using repository tools such as the slicer, repo2runnable and mirror to build smaller components from existing repositories
- process.p2.repo
- comparator
- remove.iu
- Building composite repositories
- Repository management
- Using the publisher
- Assembling product out of pre-existing components (no compiling)
- Overview of pde build process to create metadata for product builds
- setting start levels
- specifying launchers
- configuration properties
P2 focus
- p2 for RCP developers (everything you need to know to make use of p2 in RCP -- including at build + packaging time, at run-time, to provide self updating apps, etc...).
- self updating - headless and non-headless. See also the RCP update long talk . I am thinking something along the lines of Equinox/p2/Adding_Self-Update_to_an_RCP_Application (which will be updated before EclipseCon to cover the current state of the world). It would be really helpful to include adding self-update support as part of a sequence:
- build your first app and include self-update support
- add a new feature to your app, rebuild it, put it in the repo and show the self-update working
- Something similar for OSGi developers. (Obviously things are very similar, but we would have to pick an example and focus on it during the tutorial).
