Re: [p2-dev] Problem running P2 director application

I  was able to resolve the issue.

1. Located the director.app bundle in the Eclipse platform download
and copied it to the  p2-agent's plugin directory
2. Updated the simple configurator's bundles.info file to contain the
director.app bundle
3. Run eclipse

Thanks for all the help.
