- I'm interested in a headless update as described in here on top of Eclipse 3.6 (RC3) & Equinox 3.6 (RC3).
In order to do so, I created a 3.6 target platform and defined my application based upon features, included o.e.e.p2.ui.sdk and the org.eclipse.equniox.p2.autoupdate (new new one based upon equinox 3.6 operations api,not the one found via ralf ebert's tutorial)
| Question 1: Is it possible to facilitate testing during development, so that I have a valid p2 folder starting the osgi platform in development mode right out of eclipse? If yes, how can I set up this? Right now, I can only test when I export my product every time, so that the "p2 ecosystem" created. But you cannot debug P2 api call stack then (with eclipse debugger) |
| Question 2: Assume you have a working product consisting of 3 features. Is it possible to write an automatic headless update, that modifies the product as a whole, i.e. adding 2 completely new features, replacing an old one etc. If yes, any examples / clues are welcome. |
| Question 3: Is it possible via a headless automatic update to replace a config.ini with all its parameters etc.? If yes, how ;)? |
Solution for launching problem of p2 examples inside Eclipse.
There are several posts such as http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/733612/#msg_733612 about problem in launching p2 examples inside Eclipse platform. As explained in http://www.ralfebert.de/blog/eclipsercp/p2_updates_tutorial_36/ a modification in launch configuration is required. Selecting "Run Configuration -> Configuration -> Software Installation -> Support software installation in the launched application" checkbox solves the problem.
