Steven Bethard commented on UIMA-2475:
--------------------------------------
I've never done this, but according to the wiki:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started_for_Releng#Update_sites
You should run the the p2 update site publisher
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Publisher#UpdateSite_Publisher_Application)
on the old site, which I guess looks like this:
java -jar <targetProductFolder>/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.UpdateSitePublisher
-metadataRepository file:/<some location>/repository
-artifactRepository file:/<some location>/repository
-source /<location with a site.xml>
-configs gtk.linux.x86
-compress
-publishArtifacts
If it worked right, I think it should add a content.xml and artifacts.xml file
to your update site. I'm not 100% sure, but the wiki makes it look like that
might be all you need to do.

> The UIMA Eclipse update site (www.apache.org/dist/uima/eclipse-update-site)
> is an Eclipse 3.3 (or older) update site. Since Eclipse 3.4, the recommended
> update site layout is p2:

> I've been bitten by this update site issue because old-style update sites
> make it impossible to resolve build-time dependencies when building Eclipse
> plugins:

> Could the UIMA update site be modernized to the p2 layout?
