1). When you start a Launch Configuration if you don't have any repositories listed in your preferences under Install/Update -> Available Software Sites then the list returned by the API will be empty.
2). In older versions of Eclipse you can get the service through the bundle
context and not go through the agent. Like you said, the agent was a
concept introduced in 3.6.

Thanks for the point,
I've got two questions:
1. When I launch my plugin in PDE mode, array returned
by IRepositoryManager.getKnownRepositories
(IRepositoryManager.REPOSITORIES_ALL) is empty. Is that expected? (maybe
because installing features are not avaliable in PDE launch? Can I turn
them on?)
2. IProvisioningAgent seems to be Eclipse 3.6-only class. Is there
something that is 3.5-compatible (or maybe even 3.4)?

It is a service so you can acquire it like any other OSGi service.
The code should look roughly like:
ServiceReference reference = context.getServiceReference
(IProvisioningAgent.SERVICE_NAME);
if (reference == null)
return null;
try {
return context.getService(reference);
} finally {
context.ungetService(reference);
}
Where "context" is your BundleContext object available from your bundle
activator.

Jacek is correct. You can do a service look-up via the agent.
IProvisioningAgent#getService
(IMetadataRepositoryManager.class.getName());

Anyway, a bit of goolging pointed to IRepositoryManager interface,
that should do what you want. Although I'm not quite sure how to
obtain reference to it.

one option is via use of p2.inf files, e.g.:
instructions.configure=\
addRepository(type:0,enabled:false,location:http$
{#58}//download.eclipse.org/releases/helios);\
addRepository(type:1,enabled:false,location:http$
{#58}//download.eclipse.org/releases/helios);
you can put p2.inf file in a feature, or a plugin
(META-INF folder).
There's some limitations though - e.g. you can't set
update site name.
And there's some bugs, which may make your update site
not added, e.g. in Windows 7

Hi,
Is there a way to get list of configured update sites
(those seen in
"Avaliable Software" dropdown in "Install" dialog)
programmatically?
Thanks,
Andrey
