Re: [p2-dev] How to clean up P2 metadata
|
Does anyone have idea how to clean up the P2 metadata programmatically?
I was thinking of invoking the P2 uninstall operand method but I don't
know how to start, and also I have to know all the IUs installed by the
DropinsRepositoryListener which could be a brutal "search for all docs"
kind of process.
Thanks,
Andy

Our product composes of the main product and a documentation extension
site. Prior to P2 I used one link file under "eclipse/links" folder to
include the documentation extension site.
Every release of the product ships a new doc extension site containing
updated doc updates. The same Eclipse IDE can be re-targeted to pick
up from different doc sites. The link file is updated by our product
installer to point to right doc site.
With P2, there is a problem. For example I have three releases of doc
sites - site1, site2 and site3. Later release has new version for the
same docs' plugins.
At first, P2 generates the metadata (bundles.info) for site1. After I
switch to site2 P2 generates metadata for site2 but leave site1
bundles there. After I switch to site3, I got three sites metadata all
in the bundles.info.
Now I see my documentations messed up with old and new release. Old
docs which are deprecated in newer release still show up, while
updated docs from newer release always overwrite the same docs from
older release which mean I can't go back to the older release doc set.
Considering every time when I switch my release I restart Eclipse, is
there a way I can force P2 to clean up its metadata and re-calculate
so it always pick up the right doc extension site?
Thanks,
Andy
