What exactly is inside a particular p2 repository? It's sometimes useful to be able to browse to a repository with your web browser and see what's inside it. Like with this one, which is created for old-style update sites.
This page describes a mechanism for adding a readable HTML outline to your repository. Here is an example of a repository with such an outline:
You can provide something similar for your public p2 repository. Just add this Ant markup at the end of the site.p2 generation target:
<echo message="Creating human readable index.html" /> <unzip src="${site.p2.dir}/content.jar" dest="${site.p2.dir}" /> <xslt style="xsl/content2html.xsl" in="${site.p2.dir}/content.xml" out="${site.p2.dir}/index.html" /> <delete file="${site.p2.dir}/content.xml" />
The content2html.xsl looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <xsl:apply-templates select="repository"/> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="repository"> <head> <title> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> </title> </head> <body> <h1> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> </h1> <p> <em>For information about installing or updating software, see the <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/tasks-124.htm"> Eclipse Platform Help</a>. <br/> Some plugins require third party drivers from <a href="http://net4j.sourceforge.net/update/">Net4j and CDO Plus</a>. </em> </p> <table border="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <hr/> <h2>Features</h2> </td> </tr> <xsl:apply-templates select="//provided[@namespace='org.eclipse.update.feature']"> <xsl:sort select="@name"/> </xsl:apply-templates> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <hr/> <h2>Plugins</h2> </td> </tr> <xsl:apply-templates select="//provided[@namespace='osgi.bundle']"> <xsl:sort select="@name"/> </xsl:apply-templates> </table> </body> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="provided"> <tr> <td> <xsl:value-of select="@name"/> </td> <td> <xsl:value-of select="@version"/> </td> </tr> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
