Re: [p2-dev] Problem running P2 director application
|
Thanks Nick. Yes, I was able to successfully run the generator app
from the p2-agent archive I downloaded, but not the director app. I
want to install features using the director app for the moment.
Eventually, I would have to install features by programmatically
calling the relevant P2 APIs, but as a start, I'm just trying to run
director standalone. This is for the purpose of enabling of runtime
provisioning in the WSO2 Carbon (http://wso2.org/projects/carbon)
platform which is based on OSGi.
I would definitely would like to know how to run generator in other
ways and would appreciate it if you could share your materials with
me.
Thanks
Azeez
