Have you tried something like this? $ ~/ profiles-ide/eclipse/eclipse.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -metadataRepository file:/C:/Users/creckord/profiles-ide/eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/D__data_profiles_installations_profiles-ide_eclipse.profile/ -artifactRepository file:/C:/Users/creckord/profiles-ide/eclipse/ -destination C:/Users/creckord/git/profiles/tmp -installIU org.eclipse.core.runtime
It works for me. The Eclipse installation folder (or your bundle pool) has an artifacts.xml and can act like a regular artifact repository. You might run into some strangeness with features and product IUs though, since they aren't preserved 1:1 in their original form (features are usually extracted, but P2 will rebundle them on the fly for you; I don't quite remember what the situation was with products, but I've run into some repackaging issues way back in the Buckminster days) > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:equinox-dev- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Mickael Istria > Sent: Monday, June 26, 2017 8:43 PM > To: Equinox development mailing list <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [equinox-dev] [p2] How to use director/mirror app against an > RCP as p2 repo > > Thanks Carsten, that's a good hint. > > So I tried to use the profile directory, and it's encouraging: I can list > its content and install them in another IDE.
