Hi,
I'm evaluating Eclipse technologies and stumbled with a problem:
My testing application is able to create a p2 repository and install /uninstall the software from third-party update sites via the P2 UI running from the browser, however, the application is not updated itself. .I.e: If a new view is installed via p2, it is not available from the: Window>Show view > Other... menu, whereas the p2 repository is updated in an expected way.
It looks like the p2 repository and the application are isolated.
I've read about self-hosted p2 repositories and the "Support Software Installation in the launched application" option that I tested successfully with RCP application examples.
Unfortunately, this is a RAP application, and creating a product for exporting with the "Generate p2 repository" option does not work because of a bug in Eclipse https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=544151
I would appreciate some guidance about the main steps to "connect"/self-host a p2 repository with an application manually.
[EDITED]
I got it. This is what I wanted to achieve: installing plugins with P2 UI on the platform with RAP. Well, it's a bit stressing but Eclipse is a great product, and with some patience things finally work.
Thanks,
Pablo
