I finally did something that has been on my list for quite some time.
Inspired by Peter Kriens' FileInstall bundle, I made a DirectoryWatcher
that, as the name implies, watches a directory and installs, uninstalls,
configures, ... things that are dropped into/removed from/changed in the
dir. The current working support directly calls installBundle() etc but I
have also been working on one that calls p2 API to effect and install. The
design consists of a DirectoryWatcher with which you can register
listeners. The listeners then get added, removed and changed events for
the files of interest in the directory being watched. It is quite easy to
create a new listener that does your own thing.
Keeping in mind that this is quite early, take a look at
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.directorywatcher
I have added not this to the PSF files yet as there are some compile
errors in the provisioning listener as I have not completed enhancing the
metadata generator to work on individual files rather than directories.
More to come later...
