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:
- The eclipse.import reader was previously only capable of resolving if it found a 'site.xml' or a releng style map file. It is now capable of reading all types of repositories supported by p2.
- The 'targetPlatform' materializer has been replaced by a 'p2 materializer'.
- The buckminster installer is now based solely on the p2 director.
- New actions have been added in the PDE support to support the creation of p2 update sites.
Convenient Publishing
The convenient publishing consists of Buckminster being capable of publishing features and bundles to a p2 update site. Buckminster does this by (automatically) adding actions for:
- build
- pack
- sign
- publish as p2 repository
