Hi All,
Can I please know how P2 ProvisioningAgent updates the configuration files
after a feature installation?
At the moment in my new multi-profile target enviorment with a shared
p2-data area, after a feature installation only the P2-Profile is updated
with the newly installed features.
I also see that the new feature and plugins are properly extracted to
${install.area}/features and {install.area}/plugins directories but the
relevant configuraton files
(configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info and
configuration/org.eclipse.update/platform.xml) are not updated with the new
features and pluging entries.
Are these files located by the P2-Agent relative to the URI given when we
create the provisioningAgent? (provisioningAgent =
provisioningAgentProvider.createAgent(agentURI);)
What could be the possible reasons for the provisioning agent properly
updating the Profile and not the configuration files after a feature
installation?
Thanks,
Dileepa
How does the ProvisioningAgent update these files during a feature
installation?
