EclipseCon 2010 p2 tutorial

Revision as of 15:13, 12 January 2010 by Kmoir.ca.ibm.com (Talk | contribs)

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...).
  • 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).
