Hi All,

Ok, I think I found a bug with the p2.inf file.  Just wanted to run it by you 
before I create a bug.  If I create a p2.inf file with a set of instructions it 
works fine.  As soon as I modify the p2.inf file to do other stuff, it seems as 
though p2 doesn't execute the commands as times or fails to execute them other 
times.  I tested my theory by having a failing project.  I then create a new 
project, with the same data and it works fine.  Could it be that there is 
something being cached somewhere in p2 itself?

BR,
Dom

Hi Andrew,

Is there a document that describes these states?  Also, I tried the configure 
phase, but no luck.  I am not sure what I am doing wrong.  I have attached my 
project, would you have time to have a look?

Thanks in advance,
Dom

There is probably an ordering issue.
The root files will be artifacts associated with a second IU "feature_root" 
that is required by your feature's IU.  It is likely that the feature is 
getting installed first and the root file IU will be done a bit later, so when 
the feature's install actions run, the zip has not been extracted yet.

The zip will be extracted during the install phase for the root IU, the 
configure phase happens later, so things should work better if you move the 
unzip action to the configure phase.

-Andrew

Hi Guys,

So trying some other nifty stuff out.  I have placed a zip file into the 
feature and I have this as my p2.inf

instructions.configure = \
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.setProgramProperty(propName:testValue1,propValue:testValue2);\
instructions.install = \
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.natives.unzip(source:${installFolder}/test_temp/test.zip,target:${installFolder}/);\

Now, the zip files is there after installation as I set it to be there using

root.folder.test_temp=file:test.zip

in my feature build.properties

I see the following in my context.xml

- <touchpointData size="1">
- <instructions size="2">
 <instruction 
key="install">org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.natives.unzip(source:${installFolder}/test_temp/test.zip,target:${installFolder}/);</instruction>
 <instruction 
key="configure">org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.setProgramProperty(propName:testValue1,propValue:testValue2);</instruction>
 </instructions>
 </touchpointData>
But, I don't see the zip file being extracted.  I have included 
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.natives in my feature.xml as a dependency.   
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Dom

If you want to make your example on the ML, I'm sure others would find it handy.

Arg!  Nevermind, caching effect.  Worked like a charm.

Thanks.  Dom

Thanks Pascal.

Ok, so before I put the plugin below into the dependencies, I saw the actions 
in the content.jar.  Now that I have put in the include I no longer see the 
actions in my content.jar file.  So nothing gets placed into my config.ini, but 
install passes.

Thanks,
Dom

Make sure that the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse is in available.

Hi Pascal,

I get the following error at install time:


An error occurred while configuring the installed items

session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, 
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Configure, operand=null --> 
[R]com.test.p2.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.201105111415, 
action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.MissingAction).

No action found for: setProgramProperty.

No action found for: setProgramProperty.

My p2.inf looks like this:


instructions.configure=\

setProgramProperty(propName:testValue1,propValue:testValue2);\


Thanks in advance,
Dom

This can be done using a touchpoint action (Provisioning Actions and 
Touchpoints<http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_actions_touchpoints.html?resultof=%22touchpoint%22%20>)
In this particular case: setProgramProperty, for example 
setProgramProperty(propName:equinox.use.ds, propValue:true);

To get this added to your metadata you need to store that into a p2.inf file 
(Customizing 
metadata<http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_customizing_metadata.html>)

Hi All,

I a have quick question.  I have a feature/plugin that I wish to install but I 
also want at installation time to put in a key/value pair into the config.ini.  
I see that install Handlers are discouraged.  How can I accomplish this?

BR,
Dom
