I'm late to this thread, but I'm doing some work to setup a distribution based on 3.7m6, and I'm getting lock-related errors everywhere when I point to repos with file-based URIs. Mainly I get errors like this: java.io.IOException: The folder "/home/eclipse/repos/checkstyle/5.3.1/.artifactlock/.metadata" is read-only.
I'm not sure why that is, since I have write permission to that folder, but most of my users won't. The environment here is Linux. I suspect that I should be setting my repositories as read only but I didn't find any documentation to do that (I only ever do headless p2 operations to create repositories).
