Re: [equinox-dev] How to set activate on startup to 'true' in bundles.info file
Hi Pradeep,
Whether a bundle will be marked for start or not in the bundles.info is
determined by the metadata, published for this bundle in the p2 repository,
from where it is installed. The description of the bundle's IU in the repo can
include a touchpoint action (see the documentation about
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.markStarted on [1]) that explicitly
instructs the p2 framework to mark the bundle to be started.
There are a few ways to add such actions for your components but the most
straightforward one is through the configuration section in your .product
file. There is a Configuration tab in the Product Editor in Eclipse IDE for
this purpose, and since I was not able to find any specification about the
contents of the .product file, I give a very basic example for reference:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
?pde version=3.5?
product name=Simple Product uid=SimpleProduct version=1.0.0
useFeatures=false includeLaunchers=true
configIni use=default
/configIni
plugins
plugin id=Bundle/
/plugins
configurations
plugin id=Bundle autoStart=true startLevel=0 /
/configurations
/product
Regarding your second question - if it is possible for all the bundles in a
product to be started, there is a trick in p2 which can make this happen,
although, as Neil pointed out, it is not recommended and not needed in most
cases. Product publishing generates a special configuration unit
('tooling.osgi.bundle.default') in the repository which instruments the default
behavior of all bundles in the product ([2]). You can override this unit by
means of a special p2.inf file ([3]) that customizes the product and replaces
the osgi.bundle.default with another version which is capable of forcing the
start of all bundles (unless the bundle comes with its own touchpoint action or
CU that prevents the start).

Yes I got your point. I too think you are correct here.
But I'm not clear the what makes it 'true' or 'true' in the bundles.info file.
like, all bundles that has an activator will be activated by startup.
may be this is a trivial question, but I couldnt find a document
explaining that.
thanks,

Your bundle probably does not need to be activated when Eclipse is
started. If you and all other plug-in authors were able to do this,
then Eclipse would take hours to start.
Please consider other ways to achieve what you want to do.
Rgds,
Neil

Hi devs,
I have a p2-aware product that uses simpleconfigurator. In the
bundles.info file the activate on startup field is set to 'false' for
most of the bundles.
How simpleconfigurator decides weather to put to 'false' or 'true' in
bundles.info. Is it possible to make the default value to 'true'.
(activate bundle at startup)
Thanks,

Re: [equinox-dev] Eclipse 3.7M2a problem Do I need to do configuration to get dropins folder to work?
Hi, As far as I know, bundles are not installed automatically from the dropins folder. The folder is scanned on start of bundle org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins, which usually happens with the start of Eclipse. So either you can restart the IDE for changes to take effect or open the OSGi console and restart the bundle manually.

I am using Eclipse eclipse-SDK-3.7M2a-macosx-cocoa-x86_64 for the Mac. When Eclipse is running, I put a plugin in the dropins folder. The running OSGI system does not scan that directory, which I thought it was supposed to by default. Do I need to do some configuration?

Re: [equinox-dev] List of installable units or log - using p2 director to automate Subclipse, M2eclipse, and M2eclipse Extra for OpenMRS developers
Hello Misha, Concerning your first question, I assume that you have your IU already published in a repository but are now wondering how to install it because of references to some known external repositories. One direction to follow is to build a composite repository which refers to all the repositories that you need and install from there. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Composite_Repositories_%28new%29 Passing your IU and the composite repository URL to p2director will cause the metadata from the child repositories to get merged and your external dependencies will be successfully resolved. The format of composite repository is quite simple and there are also ant tasks to automate its creation: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Ant_Tasks#Composite_Repository_Task Hope this helps !

I would like to set up an IU that depends on IU's at _other_ repositories. Thus, user adds _our_ repository, clicks on _our_ IU, and all the IUs from other repositories that _need_ to be installed are installed. I read all P2 wikis but could not find anything I could understand to be relevant. This seemed to be helpful: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Repository_Association but I did not really understand how to implement the scenario above in practice. If there are any guides or working examples in the wild much appreciated. Currently, my solution is to make a GUI plug-in as below, which works, but I feel like there must be a simpler solution: http://old.nabble.com/file/p29718999/devstudio-simple.zip devstudio-simple.zip http://old.nabble.com/file/p29718999/InstallAction.java InstallAction.java 2. Thank you so much for your helpful hint about the installed IU information location. I have taken this information and made the following command; ./eclipse -nosplash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x,http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e/,http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras/ -installIU org.maven.ide.eclipse,org.maven.ide.eclipse.scm,org.maven.ide.eclipse.subclipse,org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter,org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter.javahl,org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.feature.group -profile epp.package.jee This _does_ install those IUs, but _even if I add the eclipse 3.6 and helios update_ repositories on the command line, I notice that this _does not_ upgrade org.eclipse IUs that a GUI install _does_. In other words, this command, even with eclipse 3.6 and helios update repositories added, does _not_ reproduce the GUI action of installing these same IUs in terms of _upgrading org.eclipse dependencies_ Is there a command line switch I am missing to do this?
