Introduction

This example demonstrates how to mirror exclusively metadata or artifact repositories using the repository mirror application available in the equinox p2 tools.

Getting the Mirroring Tools

Get the p2 agent from the provisioning section of: Equinox Stable Build: 3.4RC3.

Running the Mirroring Tools

Run from the command line by running the Admin tool with the args you have below (e.g. eclipse.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tools.MirrorApplication -metadatasource ...).

The attached examples perform the mirroring of an artifact, or metadata repository into a target repository. The target repository will be an exact mirror of the source (metadata or artifacts). This means any information on the target repository prior to mirroring will be lost, and if there is no target repository to begin with then a new repository will be created.

For metadata only:

 -console -consolelog -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tools.MirrorApplication
 -metadatasource http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4milestones/
 -metadatadestination file:/tmp/3.4milestonesMirror/
 -ius all
 -overwrite


For artifacts only:

 -console -consolelog -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tools.MirrorApplication
 -artifactsource http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4milestones/
 -artifactdestination file:/tmp/3.4milestonesMirror/
 -artifacts all
 -overwrite
