[p2-dev] P2 based installer that installs into an alternate location
|
Hi,
I'm trying to create a p2 based installer that installs into a location
that is different from its own agent location (I want to be able to run
it from within an Eclipse IDE). I've done some experimenting with
starting and stopping services but it just doesn't seem doable. Among
other things I hit this piece of code in the SurrogateProfileHandler:
private synchronized SimpleProfileRegistry getProfileRegistry() {
if (profileRegistry == null) {
String installArea =
EngineActivator.getContext().getProperty(OSGI_INSTALL_AREA);
try {
URL registryURL = new URL(installArea + P2_ENGINE_DIR +
SimpleProfileRegistry.DEFAULT_STORAGE_DIR);
File sharedRegistryDirectory = new
File(registryURL.getPath());
profileRegistry = new
SimpleProfileRegistry(sharedRegistryDirectory, null, false);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
//this is not possible because we know the above URL is
valid
}
}
return profileRegistry;
}
Why does it base the 'installArea' on the OSGI_INSTALL_AREA here? Why
isn't the 'eclipse.p2.data.area' used?
