Re: [p2-dev] Pool cleaner needed

If -profile is not specified, then the default profile is being GC'ed

So what is the functional difference between calling GC with or without -profile option? Once I have these questions answered, I will update the wiki.

Thanks,

Nope. The best you can get is run the GC from the an application that belongs to the bundle pool.

Then you can specify the -profile option to specify which profile to GC.

    Another question… Is there a way to call GC on a bundle pool that
    doesn’t belong to the GC process, like you can with director?

    Thanks! That does the trick. I found a reference to the GC tool on
    the wiki, but on the wiki the tool is called on a certain profile.
    Could you clarify the semantics of calling GC with or without a
    profile?

    p2 provides a GC application to deal with these cases
    Try the following command line:
        eclipse -application
    org.eclipse.equinox.p2.garbagecollector.application

        I have not had much luck getting this question answered on the
        p2 forum, so I am trying here…

        I am working on updating Sapphire build system to use a shared
        bundle pool for all the Eclipse installs that are created in
        the course of the build. What I am struggling with is how to
        clean the pool so that it doesn’t grow without bound. The
        build does remove old profiles, but p2 doesn’t seem to be
        performing any pool cleanup in the director invocation.

        Is there another p2 application that I should be calling to
        scrub the pool?
