Re: [p2-dev] category of features in update site


Categories currently come out of a site.xml file.  Unfortunately the existing build integration doesn't pass the site to the metadata generator, and in fact it seems the generator ant task does not even expose a site attribute.

You can probably add category IUs to your metadata with a customAssembly.xml and the pre.archive target.  You need to manually exec java again (since the ant task doesn't support -site) with something like:
        -application org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.metadata.generator.EclipseGeneratorApplication
          -source ${eclipse.base}
        -append
        -flavor tooling
        -metadataRepository ${p2.metadata.repo}
        -artifactRepository ${p2.artifact.repo}
        -site site.xml

[p2-dev] category of features in update site





Hi,
we are building some features in headless mode using an ANT script like the snippet below.


When installing from that repo they end up as being "Uncategorized" in the software update UI

I could not find how to name categories.


<macrodef name="build.feature">

       <attribute name="feature" />

       <attribute name="build" default="${basedir}/build" />

       <attribute name="eclipse" default="${basedir}/eclipse" />

       <attribute name="base" default="@{eclipse}" />

       <attribute name="repository" default="${basedir}/repository" />

       <attribute name="repositoryName" default="@{repository}" />

       <sequential>

               <mkdir dir="@{build}" />

               <copy todir="@{build}" overwrite="true">

                       <fileset dir="@{eclipse}">

                               <include name="plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build*/templates/headless-build/*" />

                       </fileset>

                       <mapper type="flatten" />

               </copy>

               <replace file="@{build}/allElements.xml" token="element.id[.config.spec]" value="@{feature}" />


               <pathconvert property="featureBuild.xml">

                       <fileset dir="@{eclipse}/plugins" includes="org.eclipse.pde.build*/scripts/build.xml" />

               </pathconvert>

               <java jar="${launcher.jar}" fork="true" failonerror="true">

                       <jvmarg value="-Xms256m" />

                       <arg line="-DjavacSource='1.5'" />

                       <arg line="-DjavacTarget='1.5'" />

                       <arg line="-Dgenerate.p2.metadata=true" />

                       <arg line="-Dp2.metadata.repo=file:@{repository}" />

                       <arg line="-Dp2.artifact.repo=file:@{repository}" />

               <echo>Built @{feature}</echo>
