[equinox-dev] Equinox p2 -Problem running director app from the Getting Started for Developers Guide 
All --

I have been trying to work through the Getting Started for Developers Guide( http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started_for_Developers<http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started_for_Developers%20>) and I'm having a problem running the  director app part of the setup.

I have downloaded the src code for p2 and built the project based on the steps listed in the guide.
I have successfully run the Metadata Generator SDK and had it do its work against a 3.3 eclipse instance that I had previously installed.

When running the director app in the next step of the guide, I get the following exception.....

I found this link
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.eclipse.equinox.devel/2644
which describes what may be the problem and followed the bugzilla defect. It appears to have been fixed in 3.4M4 timeframe.

I have subsequently downloaded the eclipse source and examined the files that the bugzilla referenced and do not see the changes in the source I downloaded.
I assume that I have the wrong 3.4M5 downloaded? This is the link I got the 3.4M5 src from.
http://mirror.calvin.edu/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M5-200802071530/index.php
        Source Build (Source in .zip) (instructions<http://mirror.calvin.edu/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M5-200802071530/srcIncludedBuildInstructions.html>)   (http)<http://mirror.calvin.edu/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M5-200802071530/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.4M5.zip>   93 MB   eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.4M5.zip       (md5)<http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M5-200802071530/checksum/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.4M5.zip.md5> (sha1)<http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M5-200802071530/checksum/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.4M5.zip.sha1>

and here is how I got the p2 code .

1.

Create a CVS repository location for ":pserver:anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvsroot/eclipse".
2.      Expand HEAD > equinox-incubator > provisioning
3.      Checkout "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.releng"
4.      Import the "projectSet.psf" project set using File > Import > Team Project Set in the releng project you just checked out.

Is this correct, or can anyone provide the correct links to work from?

Thanks --
Jeff
