Re: [p2-dev] Re: [pde-dev] error running P2 metadata generation

[Ian Bull <irbull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can you try 
p2.gathering = true 

(instead of generate.metadata = true).  This should use the publisher (the new tool for generating metadata).

cheers,
ian

Some guesses:

You could try running the generator by hand and pass in all the required parameters. Here's the syntax I used the last time I had to regen metadata for an update site:

cd /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2; rm -fr artifacts.jar content.jar; \
/home/nboldt/eclipse/eclipse/eclipse -vm /opt/jdk1.5.0/bin/java \
-workspace /tmp/workspace -application \
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.generator.EclipseGenerator \
 -updateSite /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/ \
 -source /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/ \
 -site file:/tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/site.xml \
 -features /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/features/ \
 -bundles /tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/bundles/ \
 -metadataRepository file:/tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/ \
 -artifactRepository file:/tmp/jbtm2nupdate/3.1.0.M2/ \
 -metadataRepositoryName "JBoss Tools Update Site" \
 -artifactRepositoryName "JBoss Tools Artifacts" \
 -noDefaultIUs -compress -reusePack200Files; \
rm -fr /tmp/workspace:

Copying to p2-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx in case they have a better idea than I.

here is my product.properties file p2 segment:
generate.p2.metadata=true
p2.metadata.repo = file:${buildDirectory}/repo
p2.artifact.repo = file:${buildDirectory}/repo
p2.metadata.repo.name = OpenArbor Meta Repo
p2.artifact.repo.name = OpenArbor Artifact Repo
p2.flavor = tooling
p2.publish.artifacts=true

can anyone shed some light on why I'm getting the NPE?
