Torkild, In addition to any manual calls you may want to make to the p2.generator, there is some integration with PDE.Build. Unfortunately there is not yet any documentation here.
If the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.generator bundle is present in the builder at script generation time, then there are potentially 4N + 1 generated calls to the p2.generator. For N configurations: 1) In the assemble.[feature].[config].xml scripts: a) Once on assembled features and plugins b) a second time on assembled rootfiles. 2) In the package.[feature].[config].xml scripts: a) Once of the packaged features and plugins b) again on rootfiles from packaging And one final call: 3) In the assemble.all.xml or package.all.xml : A final call to generate a root product IU These calls are all conditional on the "generate.p2.metadata" property being set. In the case of a product build, the final result at the end of these calls is a repo with an installable product IU. To get an actual p2ized install out of this, you then need to call the p2.director on the repo and install As an example, the SDK is built by first building a master zip containing everything. p2.generator is called on this in a custom step to generate IUs for all the plugins and features. Then the build runs the pde build packager with a .product file and metadata integration to assemble all the rootfiles and generate p2 data on them (steps 2 & 3 above). Then finally in custom steps it calls p2.director to install the SDK and zip up the results. -Andrew Some properties to define are: generate.p2.metadata=true p2.metadata.repo = file:${buildDirectory}/repo p2.artifact.repo = file:${buildDirectory}/repo p2.metadata.repo.name = Meta Repo Name p2.artifact.repo.name = Artifact Repo Name p2.flavor = tooling p2.publish.artifacts=true John Arthorne/Ottawa/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/20/2008 10:27 AM Please respond to Equinox development mailing list <equinox-dev@eclipse.org> To Equinox development mailing list <equinox-dev@eclipse.org> cc Subject Re: [equinox-dev] How to use p2.generator in PDE build Hi Torkild, Here is a document describing the metadata generator: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Metadata_Generator The ant task doesn't yet have documentation, but it takes the same arguments as the generator application. You just need to convert the command line syntax to Ant syntax. For an example, you could look at the Eclipse project scripts that p2-enable the platform itself. See /cvsroot/eclipse/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/equinox/buildConfigs/equinox.prov/run.xml, particularly the "run.generator" target. Feel free to annotate the wiki page with any other details you find useful.

Building the product as usual using the PDE build scripts works nicely but creates a product that cannot be updated as it states 'Cannot launch the Update UI. This installation has not been configured properly for Software Updates.' After quite a lot of digging I've found that the product must be p2-ized which seems like a good idea. I also found a reference to the "p2.generator" ANT task but absolutely no information on how to use it. Could someone please point me to the right direction here? I guess I must use this task somewhere in customCallbacks.xml or the new customAssembly.xml but I cannot figure out where and which attributes to set. -- Torkild Ulvøy Resheim Senior Design Engineer Atmel Norway AS _______________________________________________ equinox-dev mailing list equinox-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/equinox-dev _______________________________________________ equinox-dev mailing list equinox-dev@eclipse.org https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/equinox-dev
