Re: [p2-dev] Installing plug-ins from a local folder

The current behaviour is to copy because p2 does not trust the user to not delete the folder and break himself. What would be needed for this to work is to have the eclipse touchpoint see this folder as a bundle pool.
As long as the folder is listed in the repository, then the update detected.

Hi,

I want to know the p2 recommended mechanism in eclipse 3.4 of loading plug-ins using p2 from a local folder.
However,
1) there shouldn't be any copy of the plug-ins created for this purpose (using local site copies the plugins/features to eclipse plugins/features) and
2) if the local folder gets updated the p2 should automatically install/uninstall the plug-ins (this is not working using links).

Thanks in anticipation,
Ravi.
